On the fly resolution changes... very cool :)

For example - you start a default installation of X at 640x480 (which 
blows, hard).  So you dwiddle your config file and instead of restarting 
X, you just tell X to resize the root window.  This extension delivers an 
event to the window manager so that it can resize/relayout/restart when 
the screen size changes.
