Description of Problem:   
   
The default kernel automagically nices X to -10. Why is the kernel futzing   
with userland process priorities? 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):   
   
kernel-2.4.18-14   
XFree86-4.2.0-72   
   
How Reproducible:   
 
Always.  
 
Steps to Reproduce:   
1. Start X. Or boot into runlevel 5.  
2. ps -efl |grep X  or  top  
3. Cock head sideways at the X process priority. 
   
Actual Results:   
  
X is niced -10.  
   
Expected Results:   
   
X should be regular priority unless launched otherwise.  
  
Additional Information:   
  
I think it's much more sane to prioritize X by start-up scripts instead of  
handling it via the kernel. I really don't think the kernel should molest  
userland priorities as such. 
 
Setting to low/high as I think it's a low priority but it's a severe mistake 
IMO.
