I would like to comment; it's more correct to change this option to something 
like
X Window System Version 7.0.0
I believe that this x11 version moved the lib, thus a compile test like
Xorg -version
is more in line with reality than selecting fedora5.  All of the other 
distributions (and perhaps
individuals upgrading) will (or should) track this.  IMHO things like this have 
to be folded in, in
a systematic manner; this type of change is not going away.

I keep hoping for stability but it's not happening.
