Excellent, thanks! Eh... I just found out it will not work on machines 
without terminator (e.g. with gnome-terminal and such). The options must 
be xterm-compatible, and to run yade, the option should be -e, not -x 
(man xterm). Can you change that and re-upload packages...? Sorry for 
such a small detail, it might have been my fault as I tried the options 
for the first time. Thanks a lot!

BTW I you are packaging the 0.60 branch, right? (not trunk, which had 
some destabilizing changes recetly)

Oh, that is a very good idea! I think that the reviewers might have some 
technical remarks to the package structure (use of rpath, the fact that 
it does not always build due to RAM usage etc), but it would be nice to 
have those things sorted out. Do you feel like trying to do that? They 
say that afterwards MOTU (maintainers of the universe) will give their 
opinion. Not bad, they will do it for free :-)

Cheers! Vaclav
