Hmm, I think this was fixed in earlier X versions.


Not impossible, but the article clearly indicated that it's in 6.9.0 and 
7.0.0, which are the most current in general circulation, I believe.

But, some bugs are so important that they deserved to be fixed more than once.  
It sure wouldn't be the first time that a bug found its way back into a src 
tree.

Cheers,

Ken
