Right, because in Vedran's latest oom log it shows that Xorg is preferred
more than any other thread other than the memory hogging test program with
your patch than without. I pointed out a clear distinction in the killing
order using both total_vm and rss in that log and in my opinion killing
Xorg as opposed to krunner would be undesireable.
