Can we define what RANDR 1.3 means? I think we're largely in agreement
but I'd like it written down.

Sounds like a busy holiday, but since it's not _my_ busy holiday, I
don't mind at all.
There is still one major bugfix that was only ever applied to 1.5 branch
and not master:
commit 7822a3d05f935cca3bfa47d15d961596652ecfca
Author: Adam Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Tue Jun 17 16:10:51 2008 -0400
XAA: Disable offscreen pixmaps by default.
Say Option "XaaOffscreenPixmaps" to turn them back on.
Apropos of bugs #13795 and #15098. Not yet applied to master as this wants
a proper solution someday, but then, those bugs aren't closed yet either.
Other than that I think the fixes in 1.5.x are a strict subset of what's
in master. I'll probably wind down the 1.5 series with one last release
when 1.6.0 goes out.
