Erm... which patches are that (except those from Daniel Stone - which
seems to miss more or less all requirements needed to obtain approval
for X1R6.8.x (and yes, I am ANGRY about this misuse of the approval flag
system)) - could you please make a list ? Until now I thought all
patches which are approved for X11R6.8.x are commited to "trunk", too
(this applies AFAIK to all of my patches and most of the patches I can
think about).
