I do not know if this email will reach the list, because I'm not
subscribed, but anyway, I just would like to tell that I've got the same
problem with kdeinit, and so does my girlfriend too.

Just wanted to confirm the problem.

Regards:

Bdk

Check out this thread on debian-user:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/.../msg02096.html
You may be experiencing the same problem. (And maybe the same solution
will work for you...)

Florian

Either you downgrade libxft2 or you upgrade libfreetype6 to the version in
unstable (despite the many grave bugs).

Thank you Florian and Hendrik,

I now understand the issue; I think I will live with it for a while and see if
it is solved by the Debian team as I am reluctant to mix distributions;
otherwise I will take your advice.

Thanks again

John
