Forwarded to nx-libs bug tracker [1] for nx-libs 3.6.x on Github.

@Mike#2: I assigned you to this task on Github. If you are not available
for this, please assign me again.

What Ulrich and I realized (in private comm) lately is that there are some files in hw/nxagent/ that are actually Xlib (extension) copies-of-code.

Thus, we need to double-maintain those code sections (I know, it is a mess and needs to be cleared up finally).

  o step A: build against libX* from X.Org
  o step B: be aware for code passages being libX* code, but copied to
    hw/nxagent/ and maintain those passages in hw/nxagent/ for now

Greets,
Mike
