what  name?   the  name  of  the  package?   why not call it
`ion3_x11-wm'  or  whatever?   I  think  one  should  be  as
pragmatic as possible about this: problem is artficial (from
macports point of view, anyway), but ion3 is good  software,
so  make  the  name  change, explain reason in package info,
provide package and forget about the "noise". this  possible
or not?
