you should have done -DX11R3, which is really your situation: you still have
R3 includes. In fact what you have done is what does defining  -DX11R3, so all
should be fine.

PS: you can grab the R4 distrib by ftp on expo.

All constructors do the same. Here we only keep the server when we get new
stations (mips, sony, dec, sun...) and recompile a "true" X11R4 and do not
bother with the braindamaged constructor distrib. Seems that people are not
content just distributing compiled binaries, they want to add bugs too :-)
