Not that I'm aware of. I'm still building with Xorg-7.5 in mind, and the packages included in the book are based off of the original release tarballs from 2 years ago or whatever it was. When 7.6 goes official, the list of packages will be updated accordingly. > I ditched xcalc a long time ago in favor of galculator. It uses 'sqrt' > and other ascii characters instead of symbols.

Actually, following the above, the legacy fonts is one of the items I am intending to leave alone until Xorg-7.6, but they will likely go at that point unless somebody has a major objection. Anyone have a real world example for the udev rules for input devices to replace the hal examples?
