John,
I don't know what the situation is with KDE, but I brought this up a
month or two ago regarding any package that links to the lesstif or
openMotif libs.
The strategy of the Motif folks is to extend the functionality of
certain X11 libs by resolving some symbols which would normally be
handled by X11. This works great with -flat_namespace, but we were
never able to get it to work with two-level namespaces.
So there is currently an incompatibility between X11.app and any
package using both lesstif/openMotif and OpenGL.
When I brought this up before, you or Haroon or somebody said it was
going to be fixed in a later version. Well, you probably weren't as
explicit as that :-) but I understood that to be the implication.
