I suggest closing this thread. The bug report has been filed (thanks to Salvo 'LtWorf' Tomaselli!). The author has agreed to revert the misfeature. Moreover, with the well-worded comment of Lev Lamberov, this topic ought to receive proper attention from the relevant Debian teams. Again, the issue is deeper than this specific Xsnow behavior. As such, I consider my own mission in this case accomplished. Many thanks to LWN for bringing this to my attention. Many thanks to LWN readers who participated in the discussion. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. Frankly, I was astonished that even among LWN subscribers, some people disagree with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in particular, its Article 2. Sigh.
