Many eyeballs make bugs shallow. [1][2]

If it's not too big, post it to the list. 
If it's big, or if there are many files, 
put them on a web server and post the URL.

Compare the various X config files of the various distros 
that you played with. Also remember to try various versions of 
Knoppix to get more X config files without having to install Linux. 

Consider putting your config files (good and bad) on a web server 
and posting the URLs. Many eyeballs make bugs shallow.

    If you want something privately, just write that person privately. 
    It's seems silly to post publicly to ask for something privately. 
    Nonetheless, the config files are something that should be public.
