The text is in the diff, so it's Ok.

You said that this diff is for the printed version, so maybe it will not
be merged back as this.  I think that things like
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-understanding.html
(I mean a modernized version) should be kept in the "official" handbook.
This section explains concepts that newcomers will need to know to
completely understand what is Xorg/X11.  For example you removed the
word "window manager" from the whole chapter, maybe it's Ok for the
printed version but not for our handbook.

Do you have a rendered version somewhere?
