I use glibc 2.0.7-19 and the gnat rpm. (It's a Redhat 5.1 system)
And for the X stuff I use the adabindx bindings and they work for
programs compiled with the fsu rts (but other tasks than the one controlling the GUI
does only run when the GUI is 'activated' and if I have another task that can block
on some external call too (ex listening on a socket) things go horribly wrong...)
Programs compiled with the native rts works when run as root.
(X-based programs does not work though, but since I've compiled the X bindings with the 
fsu rts this might be the source of some of the problems.)
