This was the core of my original reluctance to have these new libs in.
I described explicitly that this sort of thing would be inevitable :-(

Recompiling certain things for the newer, csw-bundled X11 libs will
then become required.. not because those things themselves need the
newer stuff... but because yet other packages, depend on the first set
of packages, and also require the newer X11 libs :-(

Technically, we dont need to require *everything* of ours that uses
X11. But pretty close.

Pretty much anything of ours that touches gnome libs... or anything of
ours that is touched BY something that touches gnome libs... will need
to be relinked now, I think :-(
