Thanks, for the prompt response. Obviously, I took the hard way to find 
what is causing the problem :) Next time I'll be more careful in expecting 
the available resources.

Is there any discussion on this list on how to implement this feature ? I 
might be interested in coding it.

Btw looking through the TODO list I find the following line in the section 
"In the 4.7 branch":

Dynamic loading for libX11, libgpm.

I think libX11 should be removed.
