xforms is a toolkit for making GUIs. There are a few programs that rely on it, so it might be important if you use any of those programs. I think I have it installed, as I might have one or two things I use occassionally which use it. OffiX is a attempt to enhance the gui experience in X. Most notably it includes libdnd--a drag 'n drop library, support for which has been hacked into xemacs, afterstep, xv, and a few others. It's kind of nifty, but if you don't know what it is, and don't use dnd, you can probably live without it. Of course, if any of your apps are dynmically linked against libdnd, they can't live without it =). So I'd say in both these cases you should investigate that you're not actually using them, otherwise best to just leave them there. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
