I think that what most people who clammer for a GUI installer really

My opinions:

First, even though I'm using KDE, I do think this is a debian question.

However, some apps I install aren't debian packages. How do I update the

I've added some fonts to my machine recently, but it appears VNC can't
find them.
I've confirmed that my XF86Config-4 file includes the font server

has a different font path. Consequently, some applications have dotted

Here's a related question: Once you are running an XDMCP session on the
client, is there any way to invoke an executable on the client machine?
Specifically, I want to be able to turn off the screen on the client
machine, which can be accomplished by running a special executable on
the client.
