You are a genius! You saved me! Indeed, there was a problem with
libx11-1.0.3-7
I have just replaced it with libx11-1.0.3-6 (I use FC6), and
everything is working fine now. Thanks!!

Oh, I forgot to mention: ENVI won't even start!
In both cases (IDL or ENVI), if you start it from the command line, you
get a "segmentation fault" error...

Just to be clear -- the changes to libX11 that expose this bug were
simple sanity tests on arguments. A number of programs broke
because they were mistakenly using "insane" arguments, so in all
likelihood the real problem is in idl. Not everyone will be
comfortable removing a security patch. GDL may be useful to
people who don't want to reverse the updates.
