I've found that other entires were removed recently in favor of adding 
an include directory of /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ which is called within 
ld.so.conf with:

include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf

So I created two files inside /etc/ld.so.conf.d/:

qt.conf
xorg-x11.conf

Added the following to qt.conf:

/usr/lib/qt-3.2/lib
/usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib

Added the following to xorg-x11.conf:

/usr/X11R6/lib

It seems that if Red Hat is pushing the ld.so.conf file to be 
modularized by creating the ld.so.conf.d directory and adding the 
include, that perhaps the xorg-x11 package should just include a file 
such as xorg-x11.conf with the appropriate entries included.

My thoughts,
-Rick
