Re: [Groff] still exploring the last version: what is gremlin ?

[Daniel Senderowicz]

Sorry, but I'm not an X expert myself, and I don't even have a
linux box to fiddle around (I'm running NetBSD on a DEC5000/240).
Strange that you have that problem, because here I also run
X11R6, and haven't seen any problem. Maybe some good soul with a
linux box can help you.
