Xscreensaver uses XF86MiscSetGrabKeysState() and whines every time
it blanks the screen if its configure found libXxf86misc but the
server doesn't advertise XFree86-Misc.    What should it be using
instead and has anyone sent a patch to jwz to use it?

(Speaking of Xscreensaver - jwz was also recently looking for help
 in getting it to do the right thing with Xrandr 1.2 overlapping
 and hotplugged outputs if anyone wants to help there:
