Some comments: Renicing X at -20 is silly. It is normal that xmms skips when X is reniced because X gets the cpu time not xmms. Also a normal user doesn't have access to nice values below zero, so the scheduler should work for normal systems not for those in which process foo is reniced at -bar priority.
