Thanks Shai,

Committed... but...
we have a problem in dolphin (dolphin/src/ktooltip.cpp) and plasma 
(plasma/plasma/plasmaapp.cpp) because both of those unconditionally
assume XRender for any system with X11.   

We need the authors of the relevant code to provide #if (HAVE_XRENDER) 
conditional compiles to handle the situation where the XRender stuff
isn't available.
