Thanks to all who responded by mail.  The problem was that setuid
programs ignore the env. variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  The best solution
was to make a symbolic link from the non-standard X library directory 
/lib/Xlib to a dir that is always searched for resolving dynamic ld 
references, lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib.  I used /usr/local/lib since 
I was not previously using it.
