Please send the output of the configure process.

The component was disabled because it couldn't succeed in finding the include 
files of the libXtst library. But if it works after removing the test, that 
means that these includes are there but that configure didn't find them. If 
you could tell me where the libXtst includes are located on Slackware so that 
I can fix the search, it would be cool. :-)
