I guess that's why it is called "xorg-server".pc, but whatever. I am no 
longer wondering why this kind of arrogance always hits Fink where it hurts.

I have repeated several times on the lists that Fink should discourage 
the use of xquartz (> 2.3.2) on Leopard. Not only does it risk breakage 
of fink as we have seen, but it makes upgrading to Snow Leopard impossible.
