Just application.

For example, if I want to run Urban Terror (http://www.urbanterror.net/)

I get (edited for brevity):

from /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

So there is an "undefined symbol" in libglx.so

(I should interject here that I'm not a programmer and don't work in IT 
so when things get to this level I'm lost.)

This seems like it has to be in the package, not something I've done. 
Yet searching around I don't see other complaints.  Lenny's been out as 
stable for a couple of months now.  Hmmm.
