I don't think a RC bug on the package triggering the bug on the X server is fair, to be honest. X people are waiting for a backtrace, and I'm sure if they find a way to solve it the X Strike Force would be ok to include it (if it's not too ugly, that said). I'm not completely against removing wildbush, but remember that: * it's not a default theme, it's not even in the default xfwm4 package * it only triggers on EXA So imho what you need to do is provide the backtrace to X people (fast). Then we'll se what to do about the theme. Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis
