I have added the FreeBSD x11 team alias to CC, which I probably should have done in my original email. They are in a better position to answer this than I am. At present, MySQL also does this. Changing that would require changes to the userland of FreeBSD (and other BSDs). The FreeBSD x11 team is in a position to do that. I am in the process of getting Gentoo's X11 stack working on Gentoo FreeBSD, so I am interested in their answer to your question as well. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
