I'm using Debian XFree86 3.3 indeed, but when running Mnemonic
(pre-alpha-release), I get X-io errors. These are generated by GTK (the
toolkit we're using for the graphics), and *seem* to have their origin in
the use of non-thread-safe libraries.

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH-hack doesn't seem to work.

I just tried it, and indeed, it (Mnemonic) runs fine (that is, no X-io
errors).

[remco@oloon:~/src/mnemonic/src]$ ldd mnemonic
        libdb.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdb.so.1
        libgdbm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.1
        libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0
        libX11.so.6 => /home/system/remco/src/Xlib-threadsafe/libX11.so.6
        libXext.so.6 => /home/system/remco/src/Xlib-threadsafe/libXext.so.6
        libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4
        libstdc++.so.27 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.27
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5
        libXThrStub.so.6 => /home/system/remco/src/Xlib-threadsafe/libXThrStub.so.6


Thanks for the help.
