Xorg (like the kernel) used to scare the crap out of me. Now it's split
up it's a whole lot more understandable as to where all the components
fit together. While I've still not got the skills needed in a lot of the
libs etc. I can understand things a whole lot better now and would not
be overly worried about poking into code to find a segv or similar
whereas before I'd be lost at C.... ;)
