The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Re: URGENT: libXt problems

I see one possibility:  After installation, inform the user about
the problems and offer to do a chmod u-s of the relevant files.

In the current frozen release, only X, xterm, dga and xlock are
suid root.  I think it has been established that dga doesn't need
to be (it should be run by root only, anyway).  xlock doesn't
use libXt, so it should be safe from this particular problem.
rxvt doesn't use libXt, so we could add this as a replacement
for xterm, if the user so chooses.

Does the X server itself use libXt?  At least ldd doesn't think so...
