It is, as you say, a total mess. And utterly undocumented, as far as I

We have been doing a lot of X customisation recently, I wish I'd been 
able to read this first. Like you I had to work out what was going on 
by trawling through the /etc/X11 scripts.

No more wm-style I think. Now we have /etc/sysconfig/desktop.
Anyway I think this will make an excellent starting point for my own 
documentation, will let people know when it's finished. Would this make 
a Gllug talk do you think?
