Your patches were enough to trip at least one person to move from 10.4
to 11.3.  Many are waiting for the whole mess to slim down a bit to
fit better into 4Mb 3/50s.  Another is waiting for xterm active icons
(seriously!).

In general around here, people who are casual users are still sticking
with X10.4 because the performance advantages carry more weight for
them than the features.  Folks writing window code are gritting their
teeth and using 11.3.
