ConfigTool fails to link on recent Fedora Linux:

> undefined reference to symbol 'XGetWindowAttributes'
> /usr/bin/ld: note: 'XGetWindowAttributes' is defined in DSO
> /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line
> /usr/lib/libX11.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This is due to changed DSO-linking sematics. Ref:
