My suggestion: I will drop a note on debian-devel in the thread that  
discusses the nx-libs ITP. I will put you in the Cc: so that you can  
inject a reply directly into the thread (with keeping all Reply-To:  
fields). If you agree on that, I will post the mail today or tomorrow.  
I guess it would be good to place some info about the status of freenx  
and the very need for it directly there. And: maybe the willingness to  
co-maintain ,,NX (redistributed)''.

Please give me your feedback if we shall proceed this way...

So did we. Compilation worked, but session crashes occur all over the  
place... :-(

Ok, I will subscribe to the list then...

Could you send us links for both PPAs? Thanks!
