I think I sorted my system and it now works. Problem was caused by linux .so heck (not as bad as MS's DLL hell).
I seem to have a stray libXrender.so (and other libs like the likely named libXcursor.so but this one is common with ldd on sawfish) in /usr/X11R6/lib which overshadowed the newer one in /usr/lib. I guess it was left behind when I upgraded from woody to sarge to sid years ago. I think this bug can be closed. -- Johan KULLSTAM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
