i just found out that my xlib (which i installed with XF4 from port)
doesnt support threads. on my second box which has XF3.3.6 installed
it works fine though.

eg:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        if(!XInitThreads())
                printf("you do NOT have threads\n");
        else
                printf("you do have threads\n");
}

gives me "you do NOT have threads". i'm wondering why xlib gets built
without threads support!? also, i tried to reinstall XF4 today, but as
its still the same port version nothing changed, and i still have that
problem.
