So Gert, did you put your missing xorg ports back in. I also have to 
tell you, just because - portmanager or pkg-cutleaves - says that it's 
OK to take something out, doesn't mean it's so, it tells you that you 
better know what you are taking out. In point of fact - it's not nice 
to nuke your xorg ports,

Don

I'm not totally useless,
I can be used as a bad example.
Besides, I have a really great Airedale.
