QtGui doesn't link directly to libX11. It's an indirect link due to libGL.

As to your other question about using libxcb-* static against a different 
version of libxcb.so, I'd say that it's probably fine. I can ask my colleagues 
working on X, but my guess is that they don't have a private API the way we 
do.

So as long as it's a newer version at runtime, it should work.
