Very much so. Processes started before the upgrade of xlibs will still
have the old .so in memory, and only exiting the app in question will
remedy tghe situation; pkill -HUP merely causes them to reread their
config, but not exit; as such they will still be using the old lib.

PS: strictly speaking it is not necessary to reboot the box, but you do
have to exit all apps that use the lib in question, and it may be easy
to overlook one. But, going to runlevel 1 and to 2 again should also
work.
