Bug Description
Binary package hint: xwax
When trying to launch xwax from the command line, the following error is given:
Font 'Vera.ttf' cannot be found in /usr/X11R6/
Apparently ttf-bitstream-vera has been removed from Karmic. See comment #14 here:

For now, an easy workaround is to install the ttf-bitstream-vera font package. I'll work on making a patch that will require this package on install. Upstream has mentioned that they're planning on moving the software to DejaVu since it's much more widely used.
