xorg 7.2 blathering

[illoai at gmail.com]

Thanks to the team for their hard work.

Just a couple of noten for posterity:

The procedeure in ports/UPDATING worked (as
avertised) on:
FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #0: Sat May 12 13:19:04 CDT 2007

bsetroot (part of x11-wm/blackbox) seriously prefers
that you use the -display flag now (it seems to take
>3 minutes to set a background gradient if not).

rxvt (x11/rxvt-devel) not does appreciate +sb any
more (it barfs if you try to set the flag, honestly).

Building from scratch (!) gets pissy if you do not
set the XORG_UPDATE variable!?

Building on -CURRENT as of late Sunday (hence
a barely known gcc 4.2.0) . . .
