[Xquartz-dev] Re: Xquartz-1.3.0-apple3

[Jordan K. Hubbard]

I also think that the fbBlah check should be reversed - disable the  
optimization unless the special file is there.  Since we're trying to  
determine whether or not that optimization is horking people, we'd  
prefer to disable it by default unless they explicitly disable it again.
