Oh, the pain of the multitude of X CVS trees...

Hopefully all X developers will move to git so that can be a thing
entirely of the past, (the pain that is... people can still host
multiple trees, but now when they merge all the history will be
there).

Hmmm... OK. I'm busy fighting other cairo fires for now, so I won't be
looking into this myself right away.

[I don't know if I made it clear after I pulled this thread over to
xorg@, but the gradient code in the X server now doesn't seem to be
good for much other than crashing the X server. The patches we're
discussing here are for fixing that.]
