I have seen programs, that have /usr/X11/lib as standard X11 library
directory. I think on most systems with X11R6, /usr/X11 is a symlink to
/usr/X11R6. However, on my Debian system (unstable), there is no such
symlink.
Is there a reason for this?
Does it harm when I do 'ls -s /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11`?
