Yes, I was surprised by this.

Some people would see this as a good thing, but there are two sides to the
coin. The pro side is X is automatically configured for you. The con side
is the X defaults may not be what you want. Pro: if you were going to
manually configure in the first place, it should be no problem to configure
in the second place. Con: assumes you know how to configure X. Pro.... no
wait, that's a con.... ummmm... Oh screw it! Copy yer old config file into
10's X11 directory!
