Changing severity to enhancement.
I beleive you can do that already using existing config file options, however bugzilla isn't a place for technical support. You can use the xorg@freedesktop.org mailing list and xorg-x11 manpages to determine the configuration option. If it is not possible using existing config file options to do this, the proper place to request a feature enhancement is in X.Org bugzilla located at http://bugs.freedesktop.org as this is not an OS specific feature request. Setting status to "NOTABUG"
You are right, this is not a bug. It's a feature enhancement, and it is marked as one. Rather than marking the bug as "give it to someone else, we're not interested", you should fix bugzilla. It's a waste of your bug reporter's time to go off, register for another bugzilla and report the bug there. Why not get your bugzilla to do it for them? I would add this as an rfe in bugzilla, but am worried that you might tell me to go and report it in bugzilla's bugzilla. Oh well.
