    Hi,

    On Sid I changed my sources.list to this:

    deb http://people.debian.org/~dnusinow/xorg ./

    deb ftp://ftp.uni-mainz.de/pub/Linux/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib

    Then I did the following:

    /Fri Jul 08-05:47:36HDB1# apt-get update
    /Fri Jul 08-05:57:38HDB1# apt-get remove x-window-system-core
    /Fri Jul 08-05:58:01HDB1# apt-get remove xterm
    /Fri Jul 08-05:58:22HDB1# apt-get remove xprt-xprintorg
    /Fri Jul 08-05:59:19HDB1# apt-get install xserver-xorg
    /Fri Jul 08-06:23:51HDB1# apt-get install x-window-system-core
    /Fri Jul 08-06:24:54HDB1# apt-get install xterm
    /Fri Jul 08-06:28:06HDB1# apt-get install xprt-xprintorg

    Reasoning that those were the packages I installed when I installed Sid.

    That all worked. Changed XF86Config-4 appropriately and restarted gdm.

    I think the windows look cleaner, it *seems* and the shadows on the
    Samsung 753dfx are not as big, it *seems*.

    But then: XMMS won't start and mozilla dies after a while with messages
    like this:

    (Gecko:9213): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_window_set_transient_for: assertion
    `parent == NULL || GTK_IS_WINDOW (parent)' failed
    ...
    (Gecko:9332): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has
    wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)
    The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
    ...

    Anybody have similar experiences?
    Any suggestions?
    BTW I want to avoid dist-upgrading Sid because I am on a dialup :-(
