You are missing a file that is supposed to be installed by
<code>xfree86-rootless-(threaded)-shlibs</code>. You should reinstall it using
<code>fink reinstall xfree86-rootless-shlibs</code> (<code>fink reinstall
xfree86-rootless-threaded-shlibs</code> if you are using the threaded XFree86
packages) for source, or <code>sudo apt-get install --reinstall
xfree86-rootless-shlibs</code> for binaries.</p></answer>

+<faqentry name="apple-x-bugs"><question><p>I had Fink's XFree86 installed, and I've
+replaced it with Apple's X11, and now everything's crashing!</p></question>
+<answer>
+ <p>
+ First of all, if you previously had the "threaded" versions of Fink's XFree86
+packages installed, you may need to rebuild the application that is crashing. Some
+programs check for the availability of threading at build time, and then from then on
+believe that threading is available to them.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Secondly, you may have just hit an Apple X11 bug. As of the time of this writing,
+a number of bugs are known by the Apple team and are being worked on.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If you have general questions regarding Apple's X11 that are not really related to
+Fink, you may want to check <link url="http://www.lists.apple.com/x11-users";>Apple's
+official discussion list on X11</link>. They also have also recommended that bugs in
+X11 be <link url="http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter";>submitted to the Apple bug
+reporter</link>.

<faqentry name="apple-x-delete"><question><p>I want the delete key in Apple's X11.app
to behave like that in XDarwin.</p></question>
<answer><p>Some users have reported that the behavior of the <code>delete</code> key
is different between XDarwin and Apple X11. This can be rectified by adding lines to
the appropriate X startup files:</p>
