Cool, most of my boxes don't really have much beyond the basic stuff as
most of what I do is just command line stuff and when I do use X it's
only a basic window manager, a browser and a lot of urxvts. So especially
all the DEs, more involved WMs and all kinds of X apps I have no idea on
what the status is. Good to see you've already been testing a number of
those.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing as well for almost a year now on
various boxes. I wanted to make an option for it in sorcery earlier, but
didn't really get round to checking out how to do it, now it's finally
there.

I did get a few troubles though when I switched over using custom flags,
I did have to update a few spells to newer versions and also a few where
a workaround was needed, don't remember which though, but they are all
in test, so that should be good. Though it's nice to see that a lot of
upstream has already fixed a lot of problems with using --as-needed
since some other distros have started using --as-needed.

Regards, Remko.
