My understanding that the Xwrapper functionality provided as
part of XFree86 3.x does not work with XFree86 4.x, and as such
this new port is required until 4.x becomes secure-out-of-the-box
again, and you run a multi-user system where you don't necessarily
trust your local users to be nice to each other.
