Unfortunately I'm on OpenSuSE. I'm just now recompiling cairo myself, to get awesome running again. But that's not a very good state of affairs right now... I appreciate that it's not your fault that xcb support was removed in certain distributions. I was just asking to see whether you agree that cairo-xcb is buggy and want to remove it anyway. Or whether you say cairo-xcb works just fine, and you will continue to require it. Best, Mika -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
