Should we be adding /etc/X11 to our default mtree? It would seem to be
a good idea to me.

I was unaware you could do this! I would much rather have never
touched anything under /usr/X11R6 but I always felt compelled to. Is
it possible for us to rig things up so that a shadow tree in /etc/X11
is looked at before /usr/X11R6 so that the mechanism can be made more
general? Alternatively, could we rig up our standard rc.d scripts for
xdm etc. to make your style of configuration easy to do/documented?
I think other people would probably like to avoid touching their
/usr/X11R6 for any reason, too....
