I consider some as essential -- unless we know of alternatives.

xrdb

xset

mkfontdir

xdm

xdpyinfo

xev

xfontsel and xlsfonts

xhost / xauth

xlsclients (and maybe xlsatoms)

xwininfo

xmessage

xvidtune

xwd/xwud

xkill

oclock or xclock (I see is in xapps project already.)

Where do you get your xset? xev? etc?

Okay, I found http://xapps.freedesktop.org/.

But no link to it from http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/Home . I may
set myself up with a Twiki registration for this. Is it okay if I add it
to that Software/Home page?

Also, is there any download site for tar balls for these xapps?

Also is there a fonts project for the XFree86 xc/fonts ?

p.s. I need to look closer on how FreeBSD ports accomplishes this.
