Any reason not to use the debianistas code? It does cause some subtle breakage in some cases, but it broke first on debian/ubuntu and the fallout is over. By which I mean: app developers already cursed and added fixes/workarounds/documentation to deal with it; that road is paved.

Interesting to hear. That'll be good news when it happens. cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
