Version 3.20 is out (current debian package is 3.13), and apparently there is a patch for it to use the Qt X user interface libraries to make it look really good under X. http://student.uq.edu.au/~s002434/nhqt/ It would be nice to see a debian package of this (although i probably still wont have time to play it...nethack is still my all-time favourite game, even though i rarely play computer games these days).
