Some oldschool legends are still fixing bugs in xorg.

Alan Coopersmith in particular. He even fixed a bug I reported. :)

(I forgot in which app it was but the bug report should be somewhere still; it is not old, perhaps 2 years ago or 3 years ago. The xorg app in question behaved oddly when doing "--version". I only noticed this because I wrote a ruby script that displays which version of programs are installed, and that one kept on making problems, whereas the others worked fine. After I reported it, Alan fixed this very quickly. I think it was some missing flag in the C program or something like that; right now I can not remember the name of the program ... my brain tries to say xrandr but I think it was not xrandr but a less frequently used program somewhere in the FTP listing ...)
