No, I just tried building it in a pbuilder sid chroot, and configure failed with: checking for XRRSetScreenConfigAndRate in -lXrandr... no configure: error: "Suitable Xrandr extension library not found - you need at least X 4.3" But it doesn't seem to actually use XRRSetScreenConfigAndRate ... Anyway, while we're at it, you can cut down the build dependencies to Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 4.0.0), libgnomeui-dev, libpanel-applet2-dev, libxrender-dev, xlibs-dev (>> 4.3.0) and you shouldn't use a dot in the Debian specific part of the package version, it's not an NMU after all. -- Earthling Michel DÃnzer \ Debian (powerpc), XFree86 and DRI developer Software libre enthusiast \ http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
