Bugzilla Bug 158581

IceWM 1.2.29 does not use libXau or libXdmcp; these are only needed by libX11,
upon which IceWM depends. They are not even mentioned anywhere in the source
code. :-)

I guess the same is true for older versions, but I have not checked them.

I just noticed that libXt is not needed, either. There is only some junk in the
configure script which seems to have been automatically added by autoconf and
does not really serve any useful purpose - at least on my system. :-)

It's definately using them on my system

This is irrelevant, as it show all libraries to load, not the ones icewm
actually links to - including those needed by the libraries icewm itself needs.
So, e.g. libXdmcp is loaded because libX11 needs it, not icewm itself.

fixed in cvs, thanks
