Note that most of this time is spent on client-side scripts. On my system, 'xinit /usr/bin/X11/xterm -- :1' gives a terminal aftert about 1 second of dotted screen.

I've checked one fltk program on my Debian Sarge (prozgui, fltk 1.1) and it seems to display each UTF-8 Hebrew letter I type into it as two characters. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
