Hmm, could this be why my attempt to upgrade claws-mail just now failed
with:

libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/local/lib/libxcb-aux.la'
or unhandled argument `/usr/local/lib/libxcb-aux.la'
gmake[4]: *** [claws-mail] Error 1

I checked and libxcb-aux.la indeed does not exist, although I did find
an old *.so version under /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg.

OK, I just rebuilt all of my *xcb* ports after making the suggested
changes in x11/startup-notification and, sure enough, claws-mail now
compiles successfully.

Thanks!
