We still have some more work to do on RandR before we have time to take
interest:

1) experience this week says that we need some way to rotate the
pointing device.

2) depth switching not implemented.

3) GTK 2.0 is mostly in the can at this date, and probably not for us to
mess with...

Hopefully we can get Owen Taylor to do something here...
I hope he'll be at Usenix; otherwise I'll call him in a few weeks.
