Xgl compiled with wrong RGB path

Bug Description

Launching Xgl gives the warning "Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/share/X11/rgb'"; this causes applications such as emacs to fail with strange errors. Since the RGB database is at /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt (although the /usr/share path is arguably better FHS-wise), Xgl should be configured --with-rgb-path=/usr/lib/X11/rgb.

There have been several duplicate bugs already; shouldn't this be "Confirmed"?

Easy fix is:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt

Then logout and log back into Gnome
