Dang, is compiz the only major application that needs both X11 and xcb? Because if it is, wouldn't it make more sense to link compiz against "libX11-xcb.so" and leave "libX11.so" be the non-xcb, stock/old/stable/working libX11?

I suggest this, as I hope you guys rethink the magnatude of the wontfix status. Hardy essentially doesn't work out of the box with all Java applications and countless other closed & open, current & old applications. I think this is especially important as Hardy is supposed to be a LTS/stable release, that one can count on for larger, more long term deployments (such as one I'm trying to do, but this bug is holding up).

Thanks for your consideration.
