Bug Description
My Mathematica 5.0 doesn't work properly on Breezy. It spews a lot of warnings
(stuff like:
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfCancel
Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>osfCancel
and crashes when doing trivial UI-related things such as invoking the Help Browser.
The following commands make it run as before:
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
rmdir locale # empty dir on my system
ln -s /usr/share/
ln -s /usr/share/
Is there any chance to get such compatibility symlinks into the default install?
P.S.: I know this is probably not a Breezy bug per se, but supporting common
commercial (albeit buggy) software doesn't hurt.
