A little bit OT, but not so much, when you say X-Window libraries,
please specify that you refer to x.org ones, not XFree86 ones.
Since "The great relicensing" of XFree86, the xlibs license is
incompatible with the GPL, therefore you can't link a GPL program to the
xlibs from XFree86 any more (except if you take a version from before
"The great relicensing").
