I have tested it on I'm worried about the number of false positives here, from packages like gksu that might link with X libraries but shouldn't have menu entries for themselves. There may be quite a few helper programs like that that link with X but aren't applications in the menu sense. (There are also a lot of false negatives, of course, including binaries that link with a toolkit rather than with the X libraries directly, but that doesn't necessarily rule it out.) -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
