For the record, I tested the xserver/Xprt build the other day (git at
14/8/07), and Xprt built fine without require the patch you suggested
here.  My build includes a couple of Debian patches, but they shouldn't
affect any linking of hal/dbus.  Pixman should be linked after commit
59961e47df4ea621a6713a8c7d060555f8746c3a (Alan Coopersmith, Fri Aug 10),
which requires configure to be rebuilt (autoreconf).

I need Xprint in particular because of a long-standing bug in firefox,
in which non-Xprint printers refuse to print saying "paper size not
known".
