I'd opt for a `shutdown' button on the XDM login screen. 

Right now there isn't a simple way of bringing the machine down---as far
as i know.
Even ctrl-alt-del doesn't work in XFree86. 

Of course, care should be taken that this can be done only from the
console---if necessary, only after typing a shutdown
password.

ITP snack-1.6 and tclex-1.2a1, also html_library-0.3?

[David A. van Leeuwen]

Hi,

For a speech/sound related package `transcriber' I've decided to split
off two contrib parts of the code, snack and tclex.  Snack is a tcl/tk
library for audio i/o (file formats etc.), tclex is a parsel for tcl/tk.

In my current plan the tcl/tk files (pkgindex and .so files) don't go
into /usr/lib/tcl8.0/ but in /usr/lib/.

Then there is still one contrib package left, html_library-0.3.  Is
there any reason to make this a separate package, i.e., would anybody
use it?
