OK.  I think the server is something that we can fix later.  The first
milestone was to get the client libs working.

Yes.  Apparently in Nixpkgs this is achieved by running:

  make install "appdefaultdir=3D$out/share/X11/app-defaults"

(See <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/servers/x11/xorg/bu=

Sounds like it=E2=80=99s more cosmetic, but OK.  ;-)

Thanks for ironing out this big piece of work!
