Hi Jean-Pierre,

Thanks for your message! It is indeed wonderful that there are still  
people actively maintaining programs with names that start with  
"x" :-) It's brings a fuzzy nostalgic feeling back :-) The  
enhancements you talk about indeed sound very good and should make  
users of xpaint happy.

The Karmic Koala is now in beta stage and has been frozen for new  
features for some time. But version 2.8.x of xpaint will surely make  
it's way into Ubuntu 10.04, which is a long-term-support release. Most  
likely via Debian, and, if you now have a .desktop file for xpaint, it  
will be a straight sync without local Ubuntu modifications. Eventually  
xpaint 2.8.* may be backported to 9.10 if there is sufficient interest  
to do so and if the normal requirements for backporting are fulfilled.

Cheers,
Morten
