Yes, they should do, it suggests something is very odd with your system.

It doesn't matter, ld.so will choose the right libraries if it can find
them, as it knows what version of libc they were linked with.

Do you have the libc6 X libraries installed?

The GIMP package you gave me on irc the other night has all the right
libraries on my system:

aziraphale:~>ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/gimp 
        libgtk.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libgtk.so.1 (0x40010000)
        libgdk.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libgdk.so.1 (0x40087000)
        libglib.so.1 => /usr/lib/libglib.so.1 (0x4009c000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x400a4000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40148000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40154000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4016d000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
.
