mcpp creates bad X data

[spotter]

something in debian (gnome-session-manager?) now depends upon mcpp.

mcpp creates bad X property data

spotter@dent:~$ xprop -root |grep RESOURCE
RESOURCE_MANAGER(STRING) = "*Box.background:\t#efebe7 \n*Box.foreground:\t#101010 \n......

notice the extra spaces.

now look what happens if I mv mcpp away and copy normal gcc cpp in its place

spotter@dent:~$ xprop -root |grep RESOURCE
RESOURCE_MANAGER(STRING) = "*Box.background:\t#efebe7\n*Box.foreground:\t#101010\n.....

basically, any X app that tries to get colors via X properties won't work with if mcpp is on the system as the space screws them up.
