I owe you and Brian Paul a summary writeup on this subject; other
things interfered during the last couple of days, unfortunately.

Briefly:  The dispatch table order is static, and identical for all
drivers (and the GLX encoder, which counts as a driver as far as this
feature is concerned).  So there are no ordering conflicts to worry
about, even in the multiple-server/multiple-client case.

Oh, man.  You mean I have to sign up for another mailing list? :-)
