 I've done so, and am running with Xpresent disabled now. It works, but
 there is some weirdness with windows I wasn't seeing before. (I'm the
 "known good" case with 8.0_STABLE/amd64/base X.org/Intel.) They can get
 into a state where they start repositioning themselves when I try to
 simply move the mouse pointer, and also sometimes refuse to resize and
 such. Other than that, I'm not seeing any problems, so far.
