Oliver,

Hmm. . . I have not had to take such a step. I'm interested in finding out
why this happens to you, so I'll look into it. Glad you liked the how-to.
Looked up error 0xC0000022, it translates to "Access Denied". Do an 'ls -l
*.dll' in /usr/X11R6/bin, and send me the first few lines of output. My
output looks like the following:
-rw-r--r-- 1 administ None 210944 Jul 16 13:30 libGL.dll
-rw-r--r-- 1 administ None 72704 Jul 16 13:30 libICE.dll
-rw-r--r-- 1 administ None 203776 Jul 16 13:30 libPEX5.dll
-rw-r--r-- 1 administ None 29184 Jul 16 13:30 libSM.dll
Notice, there are no execute permissions. I'm wondering if your problem is
somehow related to inheritable permissions on the directories containing the
DLLs. Try deleting /usr/X11R6 and reinstalling the tar balls, fiddling with
different security settings each time, let me know if you find something.
