I tend to be skeptical of new packages like this--X has already gotten to the point where it takes a fairly skilled user to figure out what are the packages and whether they're important. More importantly, even startx/xinit aren't strictly required to run X, are they? IOW, there's no clear line that suggests why these programs are required and others shouldn't be. If you need a really, really, really stripped down system you don't need even that much, and for more realistic systems I'm not sure there's *that much* added bulk.
A more interesting question might be whether xauth should move. There are cases where you might want that and never run X locally (e.g., ssh.) The current state of affairs requires a lot of additional crap to be pulled in, which kinda negates the purpose of the minimal xlib policy (perhaps xauth belongs there, with the xlibs?). But ISTR you didn't want to talk about other options. :) -- Mike Stone -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
