Hi,

Alan already told the difference of these options, but did you 
originally mean that the option should be disabled by default and 
therefore --enable-clientids should be used instead?

I'm about to start work on the client side and propose a new request for 
XResource extension for querying the local client PID. Therefore I think 
it makes sense to keep the feature enabled by default in X server. 
Having that enabled shouldn't affect X server performance in a 
significant way.
