No. The problem is that FC-5 emacs does not require libXext.so.6 (using yum),
but the truth is that emacs SHOULD require libXext.so.6.

Even if nx comes to not provide libXext.so.6 any longer, this problem will
not resolved until emacs comes to require libXext.so.6 .

Note: nx is in FC5-extras, however, the fix for primary.xml.gz in FC5-core is
needed.
