Everyone: Be careful what repositories you subscribe to! Recently I "upgraded" glib2 and gtk2 from a repo in the UK, whose URL escapes me at the moment. It totally mangled my X configuration and I was forced to nuke my installation and start over. (Fortunately, I had another host to which I could temporarily transfer my files.) I have now decided to be a bit more selective in the repositories I use, and I urge everyone here to do the same. Temlakos
