I'm not that excited about the overlay window; it has advantages for
Deron's code as he's using Java 3D which can't (ever?) draw to the root
window. I argued for include inferiors + fbconfigs as the 'correct'
solution and eventually gave up as Deron couldn't use that in any case.

I also didn't realize how little work it would be to add fbconfig and
include inferiors support to drivers; if it's really that easy, it
should be done in any case. We can then use either mechanism; the magic
overlay window is 'free' inside the server as it leverages the existing
support for magic screen saver windows.
