My understanding of the issue is that applications that were built against
threaded XFree86 (e.g. the xfree86-threaded-* packages) broke when running
on Apple X11.

Unfortunately, fink doesn't keep track of this--the packages don't have a
way to tell whether they were built against a threaded or non-threaded X.
It's more painful even than this:  my understanding is that you can't even
find a difference by looking at the binaries with otool.

As for a list, I'm pretty sure that KDE applications suffer from this, but
am not sure about others.
