     The point wasn't so much that Xorg/Xfree86 isn't a valid
 distribution anymore. The point was that the user was requesting an
 enhancement to `better' denote the fact that there are more options
 available on the list.
     The only problem is that `more:' is very localized to the English
 language and isn't suitable for other locales... and in this day in
 age with IKEA-like solutions using only pictures to guide users,
 unless you are going to solve it in a localized manner, using words in
 place of images only increases complexity. A usability engineer may
 argue that I'm wrong, but that's how I think it should be so we don't
 have to solve this problem N times.
     I do agree though. More options should have been more apparent in
 the libdialog UI.
 Thanks,
 -Garrett
