>Description:
	
/etc/defaults/rc.conf references obsolete /usr/X11R6 hierarchy in 5 places
xorg7 now puts xorg in usr/local and symlinks /usr/X11R6 to /usr/local.  
The additional rc.conf specs will cause startup programs to run twice.
The consequences may be invisible/harmless to serious/very hard to figure out

>How-To-Repeat:
	
Pick a random script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, copy it to another file
name in .../rc.d, and see what happens when you restart

>Fix:

	
excise all references to /usr/X11R6* in /etc/default/rc.conf
