Marius,
  Which Fedora 11 beta release is this? They are expected to announce
the final version imminently, but last I checked they haven't released the
final version yet:
  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/11/Schedule

If this is something specific to bleeding edge Fedora or other
distros, it may be a libc, libstc++, or Xlib binary compatibility
issue of some kind. If so, we could do builds specifically for
these platforms, but I'd prefer to find a solution that would allow
you to run the same binary that works everywhere else. If you're willing
to do some more testing for me, I might have a few ideas to try that
involve copying in various shared libraries to see if they have an effect.

Cheers,
  John Stone
