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.
