If you use xdm, you might want to update it. Also if the xterm security bug (related to logging) might be a concern to you, you should update it too. There was a libX fix which shows up when running clients on SVR4. It may show on other systems, then again it might not. I posted a summary of what changed earlier in the week (to comp.windows.x.i386unix).
