Not only that it has better conflict management algorithms, but you can play with settings as much as you need (so I was able to resolve even ugly dialog problem you described). > deb http://people.debian.org/~nobse/xfree86 woody main There are packages for 4.3.0 @ download.kde.org -- it's better to use them.
