It would be better if the package's own postrm did it rather than have something else guess. Even so, there will always be people who want the log files to survive even a purge operation. Oddly, the link in the original bug report has nothing to do with logs: "Bug 71239: multiple screens + xinerama=off problems" -- Paul Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
