It doesn't need to be a proposal, someone (Rob Browning?) just has to do it... (Rob: discussion on policy about standard packages using xlibs etc; atm xlibs is optional priority, potato and earlier had xlib6g as standard priority; this means emacs20 should either not be standard or not depend on xlibs (or xlibs should be raised back to standard)) Cheers, aj -- Anthony Towns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/> I don't speak for anyone save myself.
