Thanks for the nice nethack packet.

I wish that there would be instructions or a pointer to the instructions
in the nethackrc.x11 file about how to use other or bigger tiles in
the xnethack version.

(Another thing that bugs me is, that some nethack dialogs, like the
inventory do not get a keyboard focus when they pop us in my system.
But this is not part of this wishlist entry.)

No problem. :)

I'm not sure where you'd like these instructions; they're in the
standard documentation, do you want it to be in the README?

xnethack is really just a convenience shortcut for using
/etc/nethackrc.x11. If you want a non-standard set of tiles, you're
free to make your own nethackrc.

I'm pretty sure this is a window-manager issue..

The information how to enlarge the files is too hard to find.
Actually with 3.4.3-6 I could not locate a demonstration line
somewhere at all.

So I suggest to put a small secion in the README.Debian:

	If you want to enlarge your tileset, try something like
	cd /usr/share/pixmaps/nethack
	mv x11tiles x11tiles.org
	xpmtoppm <x11tiles.org | pnmscale 1.25 | ppmquant 90 | ppmtoxpm >x11tiles
	# the tools are in the netpbm package

Note: Not all commands work to enlarge the xpm, I just tried convert
from imagemagick which resulted in a file that xnethack did not like.
