* xalf for Debian                                               -*- outline -*-

** libxalflaunch
Though this package contains a shared library in /usr/lib, it is
not an error that it provides no shlibs file, does not call
ldconfig, and has no -dev package. This library is not intended
for applications to link against. It is used via LD_PRELOADs done
by the included xalf program.

GNOME does this automatically when running programs, but you can
use 'xalf <command>' to get launch feedback on any X application.

** Problems with Mozilla
There is one issue i haven't yet figured out with xalf, and i
think it only affects Debian systems. If you install this
package, Mozilla can no longer be launched by GNOME launchers
that simply run 'mozilla'. Instead, they have to run
'gnome-moz-remote --newwin ""'.

** Problems with GUI Java programs
The same problem with Mozilla applies to GUI Java programs.
