Two old X11 problems

2005-12-20 Thread Rodrigo Medina
Hi,
I will refer to two issues that have been around from two years, they are
more
X11 problems than Cygwin/X problems, but as I understand you Cygwin/X people
are  close to the people that can fix them.

1- The xman program is not compatible with new versions of man. The
   program should be modified in order to call nroff with the -c option.
   See:  http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-03/msg00299.html

2- The us_intl keyboard of X11 is very limited. It doesn't have dead
accents,
   and lacks of reversed ! and reversed ?. The Windows US international
   layout is much better. A us_intl_win layout has been proposed that
functions
   like the Windows US-international.
   See:  http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-11/msg00218.html

Happy holidays

RM.

Any bugs like this or Cygwin/X specific bugs too, can be filed at the
Xorg bug database on

http://bugs.freedesktop.org 

and choose xorg as the package. 

It would also be useful for those who actually produce patches to file
bug reports and attach patches to fix problems so that they can be
tracked accordingly.

Thanks,

Alan.
