Something about the future: Recently Debian removed Qt3 support for VTK5,
because it is planned to completely remove Qt3 from its archive. Qt3 has
seen no support for a number of years now.
As a consequence there won't be packages for a Debian fslview anymore,
as it depends on the Qt3 flavor of VTK5. The doesn't not affect any
Debian or Ubuntu _release_ yet, but it already doesn't work on Debian's
development branch anymore. Because of Ubuntu's more frequent releases
it will probably be an upcoming Ubuntu release that will lack support
for FSLView first.
If you are upgrading some time in the future, you can still make it
work by compiling VTK5 with Qt3 support yourself, but it won't be as
easy as 'apt-get install fslview' anymore.
Any other functionality of FSL is not affected! If you have installed
FSLView on your machine already, it _won't_ suddenly break in the
future!
Don't panic!
Michael
