:-)  Why thank you. I like to think that I am special.

Since this is the development list can I take it that you run a Rawhide
setup or do you run a 'release' setup? I ask because trying to keep up with
Xorg in Rawhide would be a real chore. That is why I suggested the 'dont
zap' section in Xorg.

As far as 'this' Xorg version? I can't say for *all* distributions but *all*
of the ones that I am familiar, the major ones,  have switched to this version.

I now wonder just what the thread will look like when someone notices that
they turned of the 'blinking' in the terminal cursor?  :-p
