Not likely. Upstream has decided that lbx is to be deprecated for the X11R7.1 release[0], which is currently scheduled to be released this Friday. The reasons are outlined in this paper: http://keithp.com/~keithp/talks/lbxpost/index.html which essentially states that lbx is a failed technology. As a result of both these things I don't see a need to enable lbx currently. - David Nusinow [0] http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ChangesForX11R71 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
