I'm not even sure if xlib is the problem. It seemed to be fine until I
tried compiling the latest gimp when the problem showed. When I downgraded
gimp to the stable version the problem followed. Seems I might have hosed
something on my system but Slackware current has been using xorg 6.9 for
months and this problem has just emerged in the last couple of days. Gimp
mailing list isn't too helpful atm.

Thanks anyway.
