As far as I know this is not an issue with xorg-x11 at all. In any case 
the needed removal of xfree is a manual step that should tell users that 
something important changed and that they should be aware of it. I don't 
see where a new profile is necessary. Especially since it is allready 
very easy to run xorg-x11 and all initial bugs/issues have about been 
solved.
