There are multi-headed machines in the zone we could use.

What was meant was "this is a bug in software which we didn't write,
which is quite possibly actually a(nother) bug in the Sun X server,
which will take us many developer-hours to find and deal with, *which
only affects unsupported configurations*, and isn't annoying any of
us" and thus is not high on the to-fix list.

If someone handed us a fix for it, we'd take it though. :)
