well, it's not that neither, because i totally removed my binary install from xfree.org and made a fink install of all the xfree-threaded.

I really think something was messed up, but no idea of what. Anyway, now everything works fine, so i guess we'll never understand what was wrong, and I'll have to live with that :-)

Several people explained what you did wrong, but you didn't hear them apparently. You can't just remove files installed by fink. If you manually remove something, fink will think you have it installed still, and you will have to "fink reinstall" it. Fink's xaw3d package installs libraries outside of /sw (into /usr/X11R6/lib/) which you deleted.
