Hi Steffan,

There is some problem with this type of solution, 
so I'm not sure if such a solution can be approved by a reviewer.

1. Traditionally X is started on the display :0, but that is not possible if we
start Xgl from GDM (dislay :0 should already used by GDM) 

2. There are 3 log files for X (Xorg.0.log, Xorg.1.log and Xorg.93.log) that
should appear strange for the end user. 

3. For each WM available for fedora, we needs a .desktop file (GDM session menu
 can quickly look too big)

I we start GDM with Xgl all these problem can be forgotten.

I am not a partisan of duplicate work too ;)
Sorry for my ignorance, but what is VCS?

Last specfile contain this line, is that not enough?
# git tar-tree xgl-0-0-1 xorg-x11-server-Xgl | bzip2 >
%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.tar.bz2

Personally, I have not enough internet band-width to download and to keep
up-to-date more than one branch at once.

If you can take a look on the rawhide problem, it should be very appreciated.

Thanks,
