Indeed. All this /usr/.././X11R6/lib/X11 -> ../. is making my head spin. > You need a /bin/X11 -> ., though.

I'll have to check for filename clashes in /bin, but as these would be just as silly as those in /lib, I hope there are none. IMO binaries with the same names in those two dirs would be a bug in the distribution anyway. I hope there are no LSB/FHS people here, as they would probably be fainting from all the ugliness right about now... (Actually, as a Linux admin and distribution maintainer, I'm feeling a bit queasy myself. I'm trying to keep my hurd hat firmly planted on my head while thinking about this... ;) Oystein -- If it ain't broke, do break it.
