I am using Debian, but I am a bit anally retentive (how do you spell that := ) so I do my installation entirely using dselect, which seems to avoid inst= alling a lot of packages that I want. I tend to avoid tcl/tk programs simpl= y because they tend to be slow on my old computer, and xconq is the only tc= l/tk program I still want to run. Another thing I just remembered: with the version that I am using (a CVS ch= eckout from about a month ago, since I don't have internet access on my pc = during term time) there is a config.cache file in the xconq directory which= means that eg. the --tclconfigdir and ---tkconfigdir flags are ignored.
