Interesting -- I just did my comprehensive upgrade, as a part of which
xorg-server went from 1.5.3_1,1 to 1.5.3_2,1.

And this is what I see now, for the first time, and consistently:

----------------------------------------
$ xterm&
[3] 12585

$ emacs &       
[4] 12644
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
----------------------------------------

The garbage still pollutes my windows periodically, so, I guess, my
next xorg-server will be 1.4.

For reference, my system is:

   i386 FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE Sun Jan 25 06:28:38 EST 2009

It not being CURRENT, I took the liberty of cc: freebsd-ports_at_freebsd.org.
