And while you're taking care of the remainder, please don't forget
x11-toolkits/p5-Tk, which is essentially a rewrite of parts of Tk in perl, and so suffers from the xproto changes as well.  (If I recall correctly,
it builds and installs under the new xorg, but doesn't function properly.)
I submitted a patch to update to the latest version, which the upstream
maintainer claims addresses most of the problems:
