Xinerama and Xv, in the shared lib format are *NOT* needed. They are only
used if present. Since Xinerama and Xv are built statics in the Xfree
build by default, and we turned them on, since I needed them for an other
port, and Ben build the KDE binaries from fink and the fink verion of
Xfree, the only way to remove this depend from the binaires would be to
install xfree-4.2-4 when building them, whith didn't have the shared
versions of Xinerama and Xv in it. But since me and Ban have nuked our
debs and src directory many times in this KDE project I doubt we have a
copy laying around.
Obviously if we use Xfree-4.2-4 to build them and this will force KDE to
use the static Xinerama and Xv, it will not hurt any system that has the
shared version present.
