Profiling X, KDE, KWin and friends...

:)

I've been running Fedora on my machines since FC5 and I have a rather clear
understanding of the current situation, especially on the graphics front :)
I hope the new architecture (GEM, KMS, tiling, UXA, EXA, etc.) settles down
before F12. F11 is bringing a lot of changes hence new bugs, but we're all
here to report back and fix them, when possible.

To Adam Jackson: Thanks for the details concerning the -debuginfo packages.

Regards,
Ilyes Gouta.
