Well yes, the Xorg community.  I wasn't intending to disparage the other 
stakeholders here.  And users are speaking out angrily about this change 
in the threads that are popping up now.  Again, this change is being 
thrust upon the entire overall Xorg community from the lobbying efforts 
of a tiny minority group.  That's wrong.  This change needs reverted and 
the Emacs community needs to put together some xorg.conf entries if they 
are having some key conflict issues with the default Xorg behaviors. 

Regards,
Gerry
