Installed libx11 related packages

Ok, it seems that we need to understand whether the appimage is somehow built
with an obsolete/inadequate library, or my system somehow has an
inadequate/obsolete or somehow conflicting library.

One thing that should be taken into consideration is that whatever you do to
build the kritalime PPA version, is done OK and no one, including me, has
complaints like this one about the hardware or system I am using with krita.

What I can do is to analyse my system as thoroughly as needed to help reducing
the scope of this investigation. I can't help with how the appimage is made,
though.

I can offer for starters, (please see the attached file), a list of all
`libx11*` packages installed in my system; it's just the output of the command:
`apt list libx11* --all-versions`.

On top of that, the following information is relevant:

All the installed packages come from the official ubuntu repos, either the
bionic-updates or  bionic sections. There are neither PPA versions nor manually
compiled libraries, these or any others, as I am very careful with global
systems files. If I ever have to compile anything, it's never a library or any
kind of system files or files that somehow could have global scope. I actually
almost never compile stuff and if I must, I would always do it in an isolated
scope. Even Python programs that are not official are always enclosed in their
specific environment. I know well how bad can it be to troubleshoot
incompatible/conflicting dependencies. As for PPAs, I only risk those coming
from serious projects, such as Krita.

That being said, my interest is not to exclude my system out of the
investigation. I certainly may have something bad in it, made some mistake or
forgotten something. So, please if you could suggest more checks or system
information that could help to simplify the troubleshooting, by all means, do.

Important: is there a chance that someone from the appimage building team might
also contribute their 5 cents? I also must remind the readers, because it's a
long thread, that up to Krita 3.3.3, ALL those appimages work without any issue
with my Wacom Cintiq device, even today!  All the troubles started with the
appimages of the Krita v4.x.x branch, all its versions.  Apart from the Krita
code: what else changed there? I am not yet convinced (though possible) that
this is some kind of unique problem with my system, which is build on official
Ubuntu packages on normal hardware.

Finally: I don't like Flatpak, or Snaps: they are, by all comparisons I have
been able to read online, quite inferior, by many reasons, to appimages. The
reason why I would like to work with appimages, is for testing new versions of
Krita, otherwise, I would just wait for your kritalime release and forget about
it. So far I have seen Flatpak versions only for final releases. I'll try to
find some time to test the available Flatpak, if you think that makes sense.
Are there Flatpak versions of krita 4.2?

In any case, I don't want to quit using appimages, unless Flatpak would work
for me and there would be Flatpak versions for the testing Kritas.

Thank you!
