aaargh :(

I've patched the sources to avoid this and a test on my and Detlefs machine 
was succesfull without installed xorg-x11-devel package ... so my patch seems 
to work, but not in all cases :(

yes, the proposed way to deal with this problems is:
edit your /etc/mono/config to point to the right libX11.

So this is not an "error" of last-exit package, it's a setup question of mono.
If you look at your /etc/mono/config you find some entries like libcairo.so.2, 
so they point to the actual version. But for libX11 SuSE package is pointing 
to libX11.so ... so simply change this and it should work as expected.
