To Application Packagers: move hacked libX11

Right now, only Yokos and I are making iLiad packages in ipk format. But I thought it should be known that when the hacked libX11 is in /usr/local/lib and that resides on internal memory /mnt/free or /, it can cause a problem with screen refreshes for other apps. I suggest a new directory /usr/local/private/lib or similar.

Oh, a user got this bad side effect because he installed the app on iLiad's main memory, it's described in the GNU Chess Reloaded thread.

For those who don't know what this libX11 thing is:
It's a patched library which decides when the screen get's an update.
Without adding lines for screen refreshes in src, the ported app refreshes screen.
