No problem there. Just targeting devel is fine.

Any comments on that? If you are installing a file into /usr/libexec
and the filesystem rpm isn't installed, no one will own that directory.

ok. Sounds fine.

Looks good. Thanks.

Good.

Let me know if I can assit in tracking down the vnc related segfault.

If a few other folks could confirm that it's working under regular X
that would be good. I can try and lug a monitor up to my test box at some
point and try it out. 

The only other outstanding issue I see is the (possible) filesystem dependency.
