Actually the X issues are pretty darn irritating. I had kubuntu running on my laptop, since I wanted to introduce my brother to it. Well, everything said and done, he wanted to connect it to his lcd tv. Now, we had it running before on windows, gave brilliant output. But somehow getting X to do it was a real PITA.
Also, getting lcds to give you refresh rates of over 60 is another issue. To top it off, people in IRC just say to use LCDs at 60hz. Trust me when I say this, there is a difference between 60 and 72/75hz in LCD's. Even tho the LCD refresh rates are different to how CRT refresh rates work.
Valid issues - did you file a bug ? This is not a "if it is not a bug then it is not an issue rant" but given your detail description of the issues, it does merit a bug report.
Even CRT's on X can be an issue. My SyncMaster 793s w/ Geforce FX 5200 for example, gave the default of 60hz. The default settings kubuntu gives is at 60hz. Ofcourse a little tweakingin xorg.conf, I had it running at 85. Also, even tho kubuntu ships with the default nvidia kernel, it still uses the nv driver. Something I fail to understand because if you use the nvidia driver instead, you gain some performance increase, including refresh rates. (Ive seen some difference between nv@85 and nvidia@85). I had to move from nv to nvidia to get beryl working, but as soon as i did, the monitor adjustments and everything felt a bit sweeter. Kinda hard to explain. Considering the major GFX chipsets are either nvidia / ati.
Again, please file the issue
