The latest Debian X news and information is always at the X Strike Force page, <http://www.debian.org/~branden/>.

Initially it was going to be 3.3.3.1, but with the release of 3.3.4 imminent, it would seem to make more sense just to use that. So the plan is, once 3.3.4 is out, get it packaged for potato, see if it is in any respect worse than 3.3.2.3 (which I doubt), give it a couple of weeks, and then repackage it for slink. -- G.
