2.  I'm not sure if this is desired/required, but the only way
	   to get any X program to work was if I put all of the libX*.so.*
	   in /usr/lib (or sym-linked them at least).

You could also do:

ldconfig /usr/X386/lib

I just added that path to the default list in ld, but after updating
you'll still want to use:

ldconfig

as it reduces the time to find a library on startup.
