Thanks for all of the suggestions guys.
 I've got a couple books on X-Windows and XFree86. I will begin working 
through them. When I'm getting comfortable with the way X operates, I'll see 
if I can't get time to tackle some of those bugs. Seems like that is a task 
that always needs tending, and it will give me a chance to learn the code 
before I move onto something bigger.
 Thanks Again,
 Scott Huey
