It does, but it's under the X-Oz license, and last I looked, we weren't even 100% sure that was DFSG-compliant. But yes, in general, X should be able to work without a config file. If you want to tune stuff (and most people will), have a config file, but it should be able to function without one. -- Daniel Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian: the universal operating system http://www.debian.org
