I've recently started running xorg 1.5.0 from debian experimental.  I 
keep getting this error:

Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".

It doesn't appear to do any harm but it's annoying.

The only thing I've been able to find is this:

http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=xorg-team&a=2008-05&t=7493915

which is not really applicable, as everything I have is 1.5.0:

        Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
        to make sure that you have the latest version.

Can anyone shed any light on this?  Is this a debian packaging problem 
or should I be chasing down something on my system?

Thanks,
