Hmm... As far as I can tell most or all of the packages you list _need_
to be in /usr/X11R6 (for the very same reason that there is a /usr/X11R6
in the first place, and for the reasons I've already given).

Note:  Had I been the creator of xpkgwedge I would have made it put
things in ${PREFIX}/X11R6/bin etc., and I would have made it the
default.
