Not as simple as that - regardless of whether I compile things into /opt or
/usr/local, having a way to remove them would be good. I guess I should just
read up on Debian packaging...

CVS GTK+, Naughtylus, GnomeICU, various GTK+ engines, yada, yada, yada.
A while back I compiled XFree4 in there (which didn't work anyway), but I'm
now using Branden's packages - that's what I wanted to remove.
But, X is completely different to the GNU stuff I'm used to, so it's
probably a waste of time. :) I will learn to package, I guess.

I'm assuming that the default setup on Debian would be running it as me, but
I haven't checked. Add DROPPRIVS to .procmailrc?

Setting DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY in my .procmailrc doesn't seem to change
anything, however.
I think I'm in need of a swipe from the cluestick.
