Does it create complications if I install packages built with a newer
glibc-2.10.1-2 on a system with an older glibc-2.9-7?
According to LFS they say if you chnage glibc you should rebuilt all the
installed packages with the newer glibc.
Does this hold true for Arch?

If you have a lot of terminals, a tabbed or split-screen terminal app,
like Konsole or Terminator is probably more efficient.

problem on kdemod - blank icons with little x's in them.
the usual icons just disappeared suddenly.
reinstalling emacs didn't bring them back.
this issue was brought up on the archlinux forums:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=69825
but no resolution seemed to be reached.

Another good program is "dmenu". You can bind "dmenu_run" to a key.

You have to manage this by your own.
Paste something like this into you ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml and be shure to
