Thanks, this is a very useful summary.  Have you considered putting 
information like this on the XonX home page?  It seems like XonX could 
potentially be a good clearinghouse for Mac X information.  That's 
something that's sorely lacking at the moment.  When I came to OS X 
from linux I was really disappointed at how little current, organized 
information there was about running X.
