That's interesting. What third party apps would be specifically linking
to cygwin-xfree DLLs?
Examples: gs.exe (ghostscript), xdvi.exe (from TeTeX), fvwm etc.

No. Older X apps will need to be recompiled for 4.3.0. This is a change
that needed to happen. In the meantime, you can keep the old DLLs in the

new X apps.
Understood. But when you upgrade via setup.exe the old dll's are removed.
Maybe we need a separate lib package with the 4.2 libraries for the old
apps. There is no way to get both the old and new dll's installed
simultaneously using setup.exe.
