It's from upstream X.org, this *is* the new default setting. There was,
I believe (though I wasn't there) a gigantic flamewar about it on one of
the X development lists. If you want to debate the change it would be
best to pull up that thread and contribute anything to it that hadn't
been said already. It would be bad for the flamewar to spill out onto
lots of different development lists for each distro and so on, because
really the place to have the argument is X.org and it's going on there
already :)
