Hi all,
Using the nice desktop-base package, I prettified my two-head desktop to
greet me under kdm with the same theme as my laptop had.
Unfortunately, on a dual-head machine (using nvidia and twinview, if that
matters) the theme sticks only to one screen. I can't seem to find a hint to

Dan,
First off, there is even a r-sig-debian list in the universe of R mailing
lists (c.f. the R FAQ). That probably provides a more focused readership
than the union of r-help (where many won't know Debian) and debian-user
(where many won't know R).
