Aye, there's the rub. Xffm uses dynamic load libraries whose path is
setup by /etc/ld.so.conf on linux. So it will always load the old
libraries first. Until version numbers are put into the xffm libraries,
you should always delete all older libraries. Otherwise xffm will seem
buggy in many unpredictable ways.
