Why is it incorrect? How did it make things worse? Answers to these
questions would be useful in fixing the problem. Personally, this
sounds like the appropriate fix, as it allows packagers/distro
maintainers to manually specify a value that makes sense for their
distribution, while still providing a mostly working alternative for
people who want to build it straight out of cvs. And don't we already
not care about users who build out of cvs but don't read the user
guide/faq/anything? (This is in the faq, right?)

On a slightly related note, how do gdm and kdm get around this problem?
