fix

There is no "-s" flag/switch for xset.
The correct flag/switch is simply "s" without the leading dash.

This error is in both the xserver 1.5 branch and 1.6 branch.

I don't know if this web-form will screw up the patch or not, but I've also attached it as a file.

 This is equivalent to the __xservername__ server's

+.B \s
 flag, and the value can be changed at run\-time with
 .BR xset(__appmansuffix__).
 Default: 10 minutes.

well, that patch is wrong, afaict... it's talking about the *server*'s
-s flag, not xset's. (plus, even then, you need to remove the \ too, not
just the hyphen)

Cheers,
Julien
