Well, they certainly will need/want AN X-Server. But I thought
Corrina's point was that in some cases that X-Server does not have to be
the Cygwin xorg-server (could be a different local X-Server, or even a
remote X-Server).
True enough, though I expect for most Cygwin users, this is the exception
and not the rule.
My question is: are there enough gitk users who would need/want the
Cygwin xorg-server that it would be worth installing xorg-server by
default when installing gitk, even though some gitk users may not
actually need the Cygwin xorg-server?
I would be for adding Cygiwn's xorg-server as a dependency for any
package that needs an X-Server to be generally useful.
