Hi all,
It might be too late but Mr. Sano kindly taught me the mechanism
of x-window-manager and suggested me to consult the mail
* Subject: Bug#53758: [PROPOSED] Policy for "x-window-manager"
virtual package and alternative
* From: Branden Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

+ <em>Packages that provide window managers</em> should declare in
+ their contol data that they provide the virtual package
+ <tt>x-window-manager</tt>. They should also register themselves as a
n
+ alternative for <tt>/usr/bin/x-window-manager</tt>, with a priority
+ calculated as follows:
+ <list>
+ <item>Start with a priority of 20.</item>
+ <item>If the window manager supports the Debian menu system,
+ add 20 points if this support is available in the package's
+ default configuration (i.e., no configuration files belonging
+ to the system or user have to be edited to activate the
+ feature); if configuration files must be modified, add only 10
+ points.</item>
+ <item>If the window manager permits the X session to be
+ restarted using a <em>different</em> window manager (without
+ killing the X server) in its default configuration, add 10 points;
+ otherwise add none.</item>
+ </list>
+ </p>
+ <p>
Then I would like to propose one more condition;
"if the window manager is internationalized then add 10 points"
I think that the default window manager of Debian should be
internationalized so the above condition is reasonable.
PS. I do not subscribe debian-policy so please CC to debian-devel
also but not to myself because I do not want duplicated mails ;)
Thanks in advance, 2000.3.3
