Yeah, I am aware of that, but it did not supply what was needed to get
fluxbox working was not included in XFree86-4-libraries. Also the port
of Xft required libXau to be installed. I checked the pkg-plist and it
was not included, it was not was it installed after a make install,
and niether was it something that could be fix with symbolic linking.
It just includes libXau.a and not libXau.so.0, which was needed by
fluxbox-devel.
