As far as I understand, there is no Xlib version corresponding to a
particular version of X server, they are not synchronized.

By the way, if we are right and the bug is some way related to X
protocol implementation, the solution may either help in migrating to
xcb -- another X client library upstream developers are going to use in
future releases.

Sorry.. No, the only way I got rid of the bug is starting scrotwm from a
terminal with DISPLAY variable properly set.

I disagree that my setup is not so common -- tcp socket is actually
the second (of 2) way to connect to X server.

And -- please don't forget about it -- scrotwm works well with all of my
mixed library versions when started from another terminal.
