Happened to me too.. Was working.. then not working...

So.. what I eventually did was re-installed the rpm.

It didn't allow me to remove it due to dependency (though I could have passed
a --nodeps oh..well) and neither did the Freshen work.

So.. in the end.. rpm -Uvh xmmx --nodeps (or was it force?? I can't remember)
worked after that
