that' very strange... my linux libXfixes is 
/usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfixes.so.3 -> libXfixes.so.3.0

but neither of them is owned by any pkg (pkg_info -W ... shows zilch)....
pkg_info -L linux-XFree* doesnt show them either...

sorry, cant look much more into this now... this thing called 'work' keeps
nagging ;)
