Why? You can have any number of ServerLayout sections too, and tell
xinit/startx which one you want to use. I suppose you'll want FURTHER
noise in the log detailing the ServerLayout(s) that don't get used?
I don't know about you, oh clueless one, but I keep many things defined in
my XFree configuration so that I don't have to *re-define* them when I want
to use them. Doesn't mean I need the log nattering at me to tell me what I
already know.
Daniel is right. Don't file bugs against X without thinking first. Or at
least reading a man page.
