It is after midnight here, so I might be missing something - but when would this protocol mismatch ever be visible? Don't you always run libgpm applications on the same machine as the gpm server? If that machine is Debian, both gpm and the libgpm used by your application would be using the same patch. Can you explain a scenario where binary compatibility between Debian and non-Debian systems, for a protocol which never travels across a network, becomes an issue? Thanks, Peter
