Yes, that would probably be the best solution. My patch is more of a temporary workaround that can be used until somebody comes up with a proper fix. There can't be too many people around who use the xview port without also using the xview-clients port so merging the ports sounds like a good idea. > > Yeah, it's quite a job and it has to be done with some care.
