   Further investigation of the source reveals that the test is for the existance of
 /etc/X11/CF86Config  --- previous versions tested for /etc/XF86Config .
 
   Unfortunately, now some of the configuation programs place the file in
 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config -- where it doesn't get noticed.  Other times
 the user may place it in /etc/XF86Config (which is still legal).  In any of
 these cases, the error message occurs, and is incorrect.
 
   It looks like when this happens, configuring the desktop may also get lost.
