The bug was that Emacs crashes when some gnome themes are used.  This is 
because Xft gets loaded and unloaded with dlopen, but pointers to its internal 
data remain.  There is a bug filed on Xft/fontconfig.  As a workaround we link 
Emacs with Xft to keep it from being unloaded.

As long as we link the same libraries we should be fine.
