The following files should not exist:

	/usr/new/xclock
	/usr/new/xinit
	/usr/new/xnwm
	/usr/new/xset

There are copies of all of these except the ancient "xnwm" in
/usr/bin/X11.

The following should not be setuid root:

	/usr/bin/X11/xload -- should be setgid kmem instead
	/usr/bin/X10/xinit -- should be mode 0755 for security reasons
	/usr/new/xinit -- shouldn't exist (read above)
