I suggest you consider providing an option to not install the unnecessary
utilites like xeyes, xedit, etc. when installing x.org.  Many people don't use
them as they simply need X Windows to use other programs, such as KDE, and can
get basic utilities like a text editor from another source.  I think it would
simplify things.

Sorry if this is already possible but it isn't easy for me to check it since I
use Gentoo and the source code is split up into many packages.
