That's not the only reason for this dependency. As you said, libX11-xcb accesses data structures defined in libX11 headers. In particular, it relies on the newly added "xcb" field in Display. Without a dependency on libX11, it would be possible for an application to link with libX11-xcb and with an older version of libX11 that does not have the "xcb" field (and doesn't use libxcb underneath). - Josh Triplett _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
