I use Mac desktops. X11 and I don't get along. I still live in a fullscreen green-on-black terminal, of course, and do all of my actual work in either the Mac's BSD userland or a FreeBSD machine over ssh. So, really, this is nothing to do with FreeBSD per se, and I will consider reevaluating FreeBSD as a desktop when something not X11 comes along (although I don't see that as incredibly likely). -- Thanks and best regards, Chris Nehren
