(cc’ing fink-devel as well)

It was lost in that nobody told me about it :-) .  I wasn’t actually monitoring the xfig bug reports myself.  Thanks for the information.

I guess the easiest solution for our purposes is not to use our libxaw3dxft package as a dependency in xfig, since that’s intentionally built differently than the Xquartz libXaw3d.  This option works for me in my own testing.
