We have had the same problem for a long time (we're at patchlevel 18), and
the way we deal with it is to tell user's to either change the order of
their LD_LIBRARY_PATH or ignore the error messages.  We also get warnings
about minor revision levels of the shared X libraries when certain
applications start, depending on how LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set.  I suppose you
could write a shell script wrapper to futz with LD_LIBRARY_PATH for each
problematic program, but I've never bothered.

Not very satisfactory, eh?
