Ok, i understood.  i will create some testing suite for xlib to check
local environment and report a bug, so there will be some info to find
out where problem lies.

Also note, xlib-1.0 was working on GNU Emacs.  xlib-2 totally drops
supporting GNU Emacs, because it(GNU Emacs) does not provide much
infrastructure to make xlib fast and optimized.  However,
compatibility layer can be easily created (however loosing some
functionality), but I will not be able to maintain it.
