As far as I know this is not an issue with xorg-x11 at all. In any case |
| 18 |
the needed removal of xfree is a manual step that should tell users that |
| 19 |
something important changed and that they should be aware of it. I don't |
| 20 |
see where a new profile is necessary. Especially since it is allready |
| 21 |
very easy to run xorg-x11 and all initial bugs/issues have about been |
| 22 |
solved. |
