Looks like the old version of libXrandr snuck into the updated Xlibs.gz:
--- Code: ---$ ls -l /usr/lib/libXrandr*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 May 30 10:03 /usr/lib/libXrandr.so -> libXrandr.so.2.2.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 May 30 10:03 /usr/lib/libXrandr.so.2 -> libXrandr.so.2.2.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22900 Apr 18 2009 /usr/lib/libXrandr.so.2.1.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 26838 Apr 25 2009 /usr/lib/libXrandr.so.2.2.0

Juanito:
Just to double-check, with microcore + Xprogs/Xlibs, the desktop background is now a shade of "sort of green" rather than the grey colour it was up until now.
Was this intentional?
roberts:
Yes. Trying a new background color, a medium green.
Got complaints that the gray was too industrial, too void of any color.
