And yet despite all this, it's working fine.  Really, I have no
problem using my keyboard, managing photographs, scrolling through web
pages, or anything else people have been talking about.  The proposed
solution [possibly] omits a vital feature which sets X apart from
being just another windowing system, and for me at least it will be
far less useful.
