Nothing!

Isn't _x_arguments dead since XOrg?

Peter: your followup said you weren't ignoring it... did that ever make 
it in?

Maybe?  Though, I think it depends on your distribution whether things 
are installed into an X11/ subdirectory.

No, I haven't time to look at it in detail.  I've just committed it and we'll
see what happens.

I'm not understanding why this matters to the next question.

} Isn't _x_arguments dead since XOrg?

Could you explain that a little more?  I *think* what you mean is
"since XOrg released X11R7.x".  I don't have access to a system with
that installed; on my CentOS4 system, with XOrg 6.8, it's still
working fine.  Is there anything OTHER THAN the following that
should be changed?

My bad.  It was really _redirect's problem.

I meant "since XOrg installs everything into /usr/ instead of
/usr/X11Rn/".  And this only works (correct me if I'm wrong)
when command appears with full path.

OK, you're wrong. :-)

Patterns for compdef -P apply to the location of the command after
looking it up in the command hash table.

Nevertheless, I think the existence of /usr/X11R*/ is dependent on the
OS distribution rather than on XOrg.  If you can suggest a way to
distinguish XOrg applications from everything else in /usr/bin on
platforms that don't use a separate tree, I'm sure we'd be happy to
fold that in.
