If your X is busted enough that you have to look at this file to figure out 
why, it's too busted for you to cope with life without knowledge of the 
command line anyway.  (The only time I can remember using it, I read through 
it to figure out that X was busted because /home was full because of this 
damn file, because of all that brain damaged Wacom crap in the default 
xorg.conf file.)

I like my solution, because it stays with my home directory, and I never have 
to worry about Ubuntu's questionable decision, no matter how many times I 
format/reinstall the system side.

But to each his own.  I've been coping with this file being symlinked 
to /dev/null quite happily since January 9th, and the sky hasn't fallen in.
