 Looks like libraries (Xext among others) already support the XGE extension:

 but the current the 1.5 Xorg server does not support and the 1.6 release 
 is behind schedule a bit:

 I keep getting this error after upgrade of X today but everything works 
 as usual.
 

Except for me: I have mplayer not working as well as other misc X progs.
Same error...

  Then firefox3 freezes forever, showing something like the background or
  pixel remnants of windows/picograms moving over its window.
 
 The firefox problem is unrelated I think to the message above (as 
 demonstrated later in the thred)
