Asmail has/does often crash the XServer when I log in for some reason that I've never been able to figure out (it seems to be related to the non-animated icons I chose - the animated ones don't crash it). I guess YMV's! :-) I can probably do the AfterStep-1.4 upgrade but ... it's a mess. As Brian noted there's a LOT of cruft and even though some of the apps compile they won't run. And the install script from their Makefile does not put ANY of the new /GnuStep stuff in so that means all of the pixmaps/themes/etc would all have to go in by hand. I'm also not completely convinced it's not backwards compatible w/ 1.0 steprc's but since they appear to have switched to themes/feels I wanna claim it won't be. -shrug- ********************************************************* Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/ When you wake up in the morning With the blues in your fingertips Get out that ol' guitar and play It's the only way to scratch that itch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
