[Rd] Compiling under SuSE 9.1 (PR#6965)

[Prof Brian Ripley]

This is not a bug in R, and already covered in

- already fixed in the alpha release of R 1.9.1 under test. From the NEWS 
file

    o	src/modules/X11/dataentry.c would not build on some XFree
	4.4.0 systems.	(This is a bug in their header files but we have
	added a workaround.)


- the same as PR#6805, PR#6844 and PR#6855

so you are the fourth person not to do an adequate search before reporting 
a bug in XFree86 to R.

Please do now report the problem to the actual originator.

And what makes you think that is a bug in R?
