low priority = scheduler executes X stuff first = more responsive desktop

Or in other words, lower nice value means higher priority, less "nice" to other processes.

I find X to be very responsive by default.

Re: nice X, good dog...

As for the first question: renice -10 'pidof X' ought to do the job.

As for the question of its usefulness, CK states it's unnecessary (or even unwanted) anymore. Reference:
