After loading FreeBSD 2.2.1 from CD-ROM all files in /usr/X11R6
are owned by group 10 which does not exist. A quick look into the
X32* tarballs reveals that the group owner as distributed is "users".
Since "users" is a nonexistant group I have changed all files to
belong to group "wheel", but I would really appreciate if the
installation program had done this for me.
