Wasn't there something a while back about how having the symlink (or 
even the directory /usr/X11R6/...) was breaking something else??? Or was 
that some other mailing list?

Anyway, I can confirm that the 'edit the binary image and change the 
path' solution Tom suggests works for me.

I tried rebuilding on FC5 from your (Rick's that is) SRPM and still had 
the wrong path in the binary, so I edited it and the problem went away.

I still do have a problem where /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc won't start 
automatically when I select 'custom/default script on server' for my 
session.  I haven't debugged that at all because I can just open a side 
ssh connection, export DISPLAY=localhost:1000 and then 
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc >/tmp/foo 2>&1 and it all works...
