I was rebuilding almost everything within last (and this) week - started from
XFree86, than GTK 2.1.2/GNOME-2.1.3 (it came this way...) and later Qt 3.1
and KDE 3.1
Now my system is more fresh than RedHat's Rawhide and Mandrake's Cooker (I
used lastest-greatest from both), and KMail is up and running, so I can read
lists again :-))

NOTE: it would be a pity to miss next XFree86 release (4.3.0)
>From my experience, most Linux users update XFree86 together with "next
distribution release". And stick with this system for year or so.
Therefor, XF-4.3.0 would be used up to the end of 2003 (and most likely, in
first half of 2004, too, as XFree86-5.0.0 wouldn't be ready in one year time)
This mean, we would have to live with BDF/PCF for another year, or 1.5
years...
Current packaging of BDF/PCF fonts in XFree86 CVS is just waste of disk space,
and bandwidth to download. This should be corrected ASAP, IMHO.
