I'm having a blue line also and tried xvattr but you have to it
installed. The problem is you need Xv to get xvattr to work. I looked
into Xv and saw a whole lot of problems trying to find all the
dependencies to get Xv to work, just to get xvattr to run to remove a
blue line. So I'm waiting until I have a day to work on this. Anyone
have an easier way to install Xv? It is not listed on ATrpm's website.
