Why ? I suppose it would be enough to fill a bugreport about this
against the 4.3.0 experimental X packages, and Branden will either
backport the fix from the XFree86 CVS servers, or implement a new fix.
I suppose this may already have happened. You did fill a bugreport, did
you not ? What packages were you experienced this problem with ?
BTW, Jeff, you say it is fixed upstream. Do you know if it is both the
4.3.0 bugfix branch and the trunk ?
