How is diald supposed to be set up in Debian 2.0?
I got PPP working with the pon script by setting things up with

Did Debian change this behavior (or is fvwm 2 that different)?
What do I need to do to restore this behavior?

In Debian Linux, do files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/ get read
or not?
The Debian FAQ says:
Debian's X11 installation expects you to leave the files in

X applications globally, put your customi

P.P.S. And it's probably in somebody's FAQ list somewhere, or should be,
since it is asked once in a while.

When I run emacs as root, it works fine. However, when I run it as a mere

What might cause this difference?

How do you find which package contains a file you need to install?
The dpkg manual page says that "dpkg -S" searches installed packages.
That has its uses--but it's useless for finding which package you need
to install to get a specific file.
Is there a convenient/standard way to search uninsta
