* Holds hand up *
I'm fighting one machine now anyway, which already has evdev/hal/dbus, I'm
still in the process of wrestling through the whole libxcb-xlib dep stuff
on that one. I also have another machine which has not been updated at all
to any of the recent X updates, which I'd be willing to use as a smoke
test for a full upgrade once the devel is ready to be merged with master
again.
Btw, seeing as we'll be upgrading X to 1.6 in a devel branch, perhaps we
want to leave the libxcb, libxfont and possibly other problematic updates
out of the next stable branch...
