Actually I reported bug #184092 along time ago with some comments, Maybe we could start by discussing this older bug. An issue is that xbase-clients includes both very useful low-level X11 applications and a bunch of outdated higher-level X11 applications, so it is installed on a large proportion of desktop systems but and it is problematic to fill the menu with a lot of obsolete X11 apps that no one ever use. It could be useful to split the package in two. A second issue is that some X11 apps are meant to be launched at startup rather than from a menu (xsetroot, xclock, xbiff). Personnally, I would put the clocks in Games/Toys and xclipboard in Applications/Accessibility, xditview in Application/Viewers, and xvidtune in Application/System/Hardware. If you insist to keep xsetroot, I would put it in Screen/Background but this section does not exist yet. Cheers, Bill. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
