xbase-clients 6.8.2-10.1 (i386 binary) in ubuntu hoary

miscellaneous X clients
 An X client is a program that interfaces with an X server (almost always via
 the X libraries), and thus with some input and output hardware like a
 graphics card, monitor, keyboard, and pointing device (such as a mouse).
 .
 This package provides a miscellaneous assortment of several dozen X clients
 that ship with the X Window System, including:
  - startx and xinit, which initialize X sessions from the command line;
  - xauth, a tool for controlling access to the X session;
  - xedit, a text editor;
  - xbiff, a tool which tells you when you have new email;
  - xcalc, a scientific calculator desktop accessory;

  - xtrapchar, xtrapin, xtrapinfo, xtrapout, xtrapproto, xtrapreset, and
    xtrapstats, a group of sample clients that use the XTrap extension;
  - xvidtune, a tool for customizing X server modelines for your monitor;
  - xwd, a utility for taking window dumps ("screenshots") of the X session;
  - xwud, a viewer for window dumps created by xwd;
  - oclock and xclock, graphical clocks;
  - beforelight, a screen saver;
  - atobm, a converter from ASCII to X bitmap (.xbm) files;
  - bitmap, a monochrome bitmap file editor;
  - bmtoa, a tool that converts a monochrome bitmap to ASCII text;
  - cxpm and sxpm, tools for checking and viewing X pixmap files;
  - dpsexec, a Display PostScript program that allows the user to interact
    directly with the PostScript interpreter through a command interface
  - dpsinfo, a utility for displaying information about the DPS extension
    present in an X server or provided by a client-side DPS agent
  - glxgears, a GLX demo that draws three rotating gears, and prints
    framerate information to standard output
  - iceauth, a tool for manipulating ICE protocol authorization records;
  - texteroids, a spinning text demo for the DPS extension
  - xset, a tool for setting miscellaneous X server parameters;
  - xmodmap, a utility for modifying keymaps and pointer button mappings in X;
  - xsetmode and xsetpointer, tools for handling X Input devices;
  - setxkbmap, xkbbell, xkbcomp, xkbevd, xkbprint, xkbvleds, and xkbwatch,
    tools for managing the X Keyboard Extension (XKB);
  - xsm, a session manager for X sessions;
  - smproxy, a session manager proxy for X clients that do not use the X
    session manager protocol;
  - xgamma, a tool for querying and setting a monitor's gamma correction;
  - appres, editres, listres, viewres, and xrdb, which query and update the
    X resource database;
  - Xmark, x11perf, and x11perfcomp, tools for benchmarking graphical
    operations under the X Window System;
  - fstobdf, which retrieves a font in BDF format from an X font server;

  - ico, an X graphics demo using an animated polyhedron;
  - dga, a demo program for the DGA extension; and
  - xgc, an (unfinished) X graphics demo program.
 .
 xbase-clients also -- except on the s390 architecture -- contains the X.Org
 X server configuration programs xorgcfg and xorgconfig, but in general the
 Debconf interface to the xserver-xorg package should be used instead of
 these tools.
 .
 The bitmap, editres, viewres, xbiff, xcalc, xconsole, xditview, xedit,
 xf86cfg, xman, xsetroot, and xsm programs use bitmap images provided by the
 xlibs-data package. xkbcomp uses the XKEYBOARD (XKB) extension configuration
 data provided by the xlibs package.
 .
 xrdb requires the C preprocessor (cpp) to process X resource files. The GNU
 C preprocessor's "-traditional" support misbehaves in early releases of the
 GCC 3.3 series; therefore, this package conflicts with those versions.
 .
 (Strictly speaking, atobm does not depend on any X libraries, but it shares a
 manual page with bitmap and bmtoa, and so is grouped with them in this
 package.)
 .
 This package no longer provides the 'mkfontscale' program; it has instead been
 moved to xutils.
