this type of setup should be fine. the 'undefined symbol' seems to mean 
base.so is linking to the wrong xlib? usually if it compiles fine that 
means all the C headers are ok, when you get the runtime link error it 
usually points to a lib vs. header mismatch?

in any event, XSetWMProtocols is not used anywhere in the pygame source, 
so this is an error trickling up from SDL. can you try any of the simple 
SDL test programs to see if they fly?

SDL makes this call internally when setting up the display window.
