Xpm is significantly different in the 1.1 tree and the servers have new
names as well, which may require a deinstallation first or just forcing
properly. Most of the Debian X-applications are now ELF and they seem to
work. In fact, some of the packges in the non-free directory now require
ELF and this was one of the motivating factors for me to upgrade.
