Both Qt and GTK+ (the underlying widget sets) are not X-specific, so
need a way of theming which is not tied to X.

Hi,
Today I installed Sid (via Potato) and became a Debian user, after many
years as a RedHat/Mandrake user. Because of this I have a number of
questions:
1. How can I see what distribution a package came from? Basically, I
want to check that all of the packages on my system are from Sid, not
P
es.
I'm glad I've got the correct list!
You Debian guys are a lot more friendly than the RedHat/Mandrake
posse... :-)
