OK, I think I have everything sorted out.  After a lot of  
uninstalling, deleting, and recompiling, I got gimp-2.6 to work.   
However, I'm still getting:

Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".

I get this when loading Inkscape as well.  They both seem to run fine  
other than this.  Anyone know where this issue might be coming from?
