Missing libX11.so.6

iliad_refresh.conf doesn't seem to work in any of the versions which "support" it. (mrxvt_iliad_0.3.zip and mrxvt_iliad_0.4.zip)

I kept experiencing delayed screen refreshes: the screen was usually one step behind. When I pressed a key, the screen would display the prior, but not current, keypress.

I fixed it by linking to Antartica's hacked libX11.so.6, which is what provides iliad_refresh.conf. I've attached below what's currently the most widely distributed version of Antartica's hack.

If mrxvt is the first application you've installed, then you'll probably want to download and copy it to /path/to/mrxvt/lib.

Note: /usr/lib/libX11.so.6.2.1 is the (unhacked) iRex version. You don't want to overwrite this file, or its symbolic link /usr/lib/libX11.so.6.
iRex: -- size: 948556, md5sum: 8f988f4326487826d73abae202672b35
Antartica -- size: 989488, md5sum: 05b04c59a886cc3722f064b740b538ee
There are also several other versions of Antartica's hack having various sizes.

Optional:
If other applications are installed, there's a good chance you already have the hacked libX11.so.6 already. If you want to avoid duplication of libraries, just edit mrxvt/run.sh and change
Code:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$scriptdir/lib
to
Code:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$scriptdir/lib:/usr/local/private/lib

If the experts could confirm all this, I'd be happy to upload mrxvt_iliad_0.5.zip containing Antartica's hack.
