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 ...)
