| Greetings.  I've been wondering if X11R6 has enough new stuff / performance
| enhancements to be worth the switch?  

It's definately bigger and not noticably faster.

The most concrete advantages are that the fonts are somewhat nicer and
the font server works a little better, and it supports the Sun type 5
keyboard properly.  (Properly means all the keys have keysyms bound,
and there are keysyms like SunXK_VideoLowerBrightness to go with the
new keys.)

| Is R6 worth the trouble to get, compile overnight, rebuild sam/9term/9wm,
| and in general switch?  

How bored are you feeling? :-)
