I've contributed a LOT to the ports tree over the years, I don't see any lack of respect from the ports guys, but I have found it more confortable to contribute without taking the full responsability of maintaining the ports. The problem here is in the OS, not the port. Solaris and Linux both have the call and the xview code doesn't make any provision for OSs without it, commenting it out (my workaround) will probably break some applications and send out the wrong signal that removing legacy stuff is a good idea. > > I was under the impression that the diablo-jdk13 port was just a tested, > binary version of the jdk13 port.

Nevertheless, they are real issues for people with slow computers :(. Pedro. ___________________________________ Nuovo Yahoo!
