True.

But on the other hand, writing (startup) scripts (eg xinitrc) might get
a bit awkward, especially for 'newbies' - if they want to keep those
system-independant.

Ok, I re-installed a fresh CVS CO, and here's what I get:

  :0> ps -fax | grep GNU

  :0> cat .xsession-errors
  Found GDNCServer on '127.0.0.1' port 4743
  Uncaught exception NSGenericException, reason: unable to register
  GDNCServer

Just made a quick test starting Finger.app several times - and it worked
again, despite the errors in .xsession-error ... weird?
