not now, when almost everything is working at last !!!
ok an answer at last, thanks, I thought I'd talked to a wall on this topic.
hmm, now since this was the only answer to the 3rd question on the topic,
I have to think, that the imake gurus have died out with the dinosaurs.
Could anybody please take the time to clear this up for now & ever?
(I simply don't know where to start. And it would take very long for me,
since I never tackled with differences between X11 releases before)
