+Summary: MWF depends on the development library libX11.so which is not installed on end user boxes
+
+Description of Problem:
+I compiled mono from svn HEAD and wrote a very simple WinForms test. It
+failed to run, complaining that libX11 could not be found. This was because
+it was searching for libX11.so which does not exist because the libs
+referenced from  /etc/ld.so.conf only contain:
+  * libX11.so.6
+  * libX11.so.6.2
+
+(The first is a symlink to the second)
+
+
+Actual Results:
+Unable to run MWF app
+
+Expected Results:
+Able to run MWF app
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Every time
+
+Additional Information:
+A workaround is to create a symlink from libX11.so to libX11.so.6.2
