wow - i'm disappointed no one's ever answered this... i too would like to know:
root:~/# ls -o /usr/bin/X*
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root    9232 Dec 16  2011 /usr/bin/X
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 1889472 Oct 29  2011 /usr/bin/Xorg

both files are ELF executables, and they are CLEARLY different.
so what exactly IS the difference btn them???

TIA...
