    I've been massaging UberMon for SuperKaramba for my FreeBSD systems.

    I'd like to be able to run a command that will yield which X window system is
    installed and what version.

    I've done it with something like startx -- -version, but this is problematic
    if X windows is running (which is the scenario I need it to work in).

    Even then, I'd have to grep for "XFree86 Version" so it isn't a general
    solution that would work for systems already switched to x-org.

    Any deas?
