I don't have a RedHat system, so packaging details could differ, but my
libgtkgl.so.5 doesn't have a glXUseXFont symbol anywhere in it.  You might
have to run nm --dynamic on your various libraries in /usr/lib/*.so to
find out who (if anyone) defines that symbol.  It may be that you simply
need another library added in to the link command.
