This sounds fishy.  There are some linux binaries that just have to have
a different set of X libraries, acroread is among them.  I think it's a
libc5 vs. libc6 thing, and I don't know how real Linux systems handle
it, but I just put wrappers around these binaries that set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include libc5 stuff before everything else.
