We tried installing new X11 libraries...we had libraries called libX11.so.6.0
and we added ones called libX11.so.6.1, ldconfig would see and list only the
6.1 (which is right), but when we tried to run a program, it would say
that it couldn't find libX11.so.6.0 ...but ldd says it is just linked with
libX11.6 (which implies that it should work right, ie load the highest
minor revision of major revision 6 libraries...

This is on stock(as far as I know) 1.1 i386.
