hmmm ... did some further investigating on google, and yr right - X11 
libraries were not in my path. well, they're in *my* path, but not in 
root's ... i'm using q-collective's xfce-svn script, which requires to 
be run as root during the whole svn-checkout/configuration/compilation 
process. i entered 'env' at the command-line as root, and my 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH only points to Mono's stuff. i guess my installation of 
Mono recently wiped out root's default PKG_CONFIG_PATH?!

anyways, i managed to get the xffm installer through its motions by 
exporting the correct X11 pkgconfig path :)

oh, i'm using Fedora Core 4 ...
