Indeed nothing depends on libXTrap besides xtrap(1) itself.  But this
message makes me even more suspicious of disabling Record.

OK, thanks.

It was in 1.3, but I don't see it in 1.5 in any mode.  alanc on #xorg
told me that it's only enabled "when needed".  Either way, it may be a
moot point, since I'm not sure about the usefulness of Xinerama on
Cygwin anyway.

For Record, I think I would enable it now because of libXtst, which is
in use; as for the others, if they are indeed deprecated and about to be
removed, I think that since we're making the transition anyway, we might
as well adjust to the fact that these are gone.

So my thoughts are:
* Enable Composite, add xcompmgr, and rebuild metacity.
* Re-enable Record.
* Disable DMX and remove dmxproto/libdmx, and rebuild xdpyinfo.
* Disable XF86BigFont and remove xf86bigfontproto.
* Disable Xinerama and remove xineramaproto.
* Disable XTrap and remove trapproto/libXTrap/xtrap.
* Remove unused printproto, xf86dgaproto, xf86miscproto, xf86vidmodeproto.

Agreed?
