Knowing there had been Lesstif related issues encountered by Xastir in
the past, I did try building with openMotif instead, but that didn't
help. Seeing libXt in there makes me wonder if it's X11 related -
especially since Ubuntu 10.04 is one of the 2 distros I know of
(w/Fedora 13) that has the current X11 issue (right click).
