Will add it.

 JS> How did you discover this? Did you actually encounter one of these
 JS> crashes, or just notice that the code was unused? You might comment
 JS> on that in the commit message too.

I was looking for a dead code, and stumbled upon it.

 JS> Then, is xaaOverlay used anywhere, or can it be removed too? If nobody
 JS> has seen this crash, maybe nobody cares about this code.

I'd better leave it to someone who knows XAA better than I am.
