And this in no way properly addresses the issue as put forth in this thread.

Xorg says it is making this change in response to complaints from 
desktop users.  I want to see those complaints.  How many were there?  
Out of ten million installations I would think maybe there would be at 
least 1,000 complaints to even bring the issue into statistical 
significance.  That would still only be 1/100th of 1 percent of all 
installations.  Surely they can meet that meager standard.  Show me the 
complaints.
