Either fix it yourself or file a bug (i tend to fix little things like this 
myself to avoid the paperwork in bugzilla)
We now have an X11 (Justin "Xenith" Rocha) guru again so it is once again 
possible to assign bugs to someone :)

I think we kind of need to push the requires=depends changes into stable 
sorcery as soon as we can. (obviously the decision  is for the sorcery team 
to decide)
It will be a lot of interim work with spells like xll-libs and so-on 
otherwise 
and I definitely want to work smarter not harder.
About the provides MOTIF I don't know that i like capitals much anymore( 
since 
i do enough shouting allready) but i don't have any other alternative in mind 
so I will just go with the flow.
