I've heard this answer ("just go in and change it") a lot where restrictions
in the current version of X are concerned. Please note that it is *not* a
solution. Your local copies of X may then allow whatever feature you need,
but how do you propose that other people with unmodified X servers (and maybe
without X sources at all, if they have a vendor-supplied X) run applications
that depend on these hacks? (Extensible window servers? Hmmm....)
