Again,

You missed the point, but I'm not going to argue it anymore.  FYI, it is
*OK* to discuss X related things on this list, provided it is in the
context of an application which is both Console and X based.  Discussion
of X-related items which uncover a bug in the cygwin dll is also valid on
this list.  A quick scan of the archives would have answered that one for
you...  Making a new list for XFree-apps is just plain dumb... I'm
subscribed to enough lists as it is without having to subscribe to another
one.  I'm sure there are many others who feel the same.

Cheers,
Nicholas
