Now that xlib6g and xlib6g-dev have been released (thanks Mark), the
answer should be yes, but I haven't tried it yet. Note that you need
to be running unstable, and you have to complile all your code with
-D_REENTRANT. There's information about X and threads in the book
"Programmers Supplement for Release 6", another one of those "X"
books.
