After patching our Xorg, we've found issues with gv (could show up in 
others, but this is one I know about). Apparently there's bit of conflict 
between X and applications in this bit of code, because a google search 
came up with several past instances of issues around it.

The error:

[stew@presario30 tmp]$ gv /opt/lsb/doc/lsb-vsw4/xtest/doc/userguide.ps
Error: XtMakeGeometryRequest - parent not composite

The bit of patch I dropped:

     /*
      * The Xt spec says that these conditions must generate
      * error messages (not warnings), but many Xt applications

Of course, once LSB provides Xvfb for testing, this patch won't be 
necessary in our X, but I've added xts5 to our automated testing atm, and 
it's nice to see a managable number of failures.
