Yes, this R is useless if package is built with older libX11.

Issue is more global - every application/library that uses X11's
GetReq and similar macros starts to require libX11 >= 1.4.99
when it's built with libX11 >= 1.4.99.

and it's more global than this: this happens to be the case with other gnomeish libs as well: glib, gtk+2....

it has been addressed earlier with upstream (by patrys), to make soname versions, but upstream declined that plan for gtk+2/gtk+3

sorry no links to mailinglist, or samples or other libs, but i'm sure the topic itself is not new.

could this be addressed by rpm side?
%requires_eq is not the solution i'm seeking, as that would cause pointless rebuilds and upgrades if nothing has changed between versions.
