7.04 has not been released yet, it's still under active development.

i solved it this way:

1. download this:
wget http://ubuntu.inode.at/ubuntu/pool/main/libx/libx11/libx11-6_1.0.3-0ubuntu4_i386.deb

2. install it:
sudo dkpg -i libx11-6_1.0.3-0ubuntu4_i386.deb

this should help (this is a bug, so it is possible, that when you update your system it won't be working)

to prevent from this you can do this:
1. install this;
sudo apt-get install wajig

2. hold the package:
wajig hold libx11-6

but remember to unhold it back when the bug will be fixed :), thank alan pope

Just an Hint....

By downgrading the libx11-xxx you're risking an inkonsistent System. That Update contains a fix for a Security-Leak in the X-Server...
