I had to place inofficial symlinks to the X libraries into /lib, too:
  /lib/libX11.so.6 -> /X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
etc.

Without that you will need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. But this variable
is ignored in setuid applications, making xterm and rxvt useless.

The other workaround is to remove the suid bit from these binaries.
