This all LGTM.

I tested by (1) building and a running a couple of grafted X clients
talking to my (ungrafted) X server, and (2) building my laptop=E2=80=99s co=
nfig
with =E2=80=98guix system vm=E2=80=99 and checking that both the X server a=
nd typical X
clients functioned.

So I think this can go in on master.

(On core-updates it=E2=80=99s probably best to upgrade these libraries inst=
ead
of patching them, as you wrote on IRC.)

Thanks a lot!
