mga8, x86_64
These updated cleanly.
libx11 applications are everywhere.   The list on this system runs to 975 items.
Started an empty session in ardour and logged out - graphics seemed OK.
Ran zenity against the built-in commands; calendar, question, entry, file-selection.  All work as expected. 
Tried xplayer on MP4 and MKV files - audio and video perfect.  Used xviewer to view an image folder.

No regressions noted.
