Did the X11 update do this?

I have just returned from a trip, and had several complaints about
things not working on FC2.
My first assumption was that with the BIG X11 update that went by
a week or so ago these programs were now broken.
I told the users to try logging out/logging back in and seeing if
this would 'fix' the problem,- as they might be running with some
strange combination of X11 libraries, but this didnt help.
When I had time to investigate the problem, I found that the X11
update that ran about a week ago had completely blown away the
/usr/X11R6/bin and /usr/X11R6/lib directories, at the same time
was smart enough to remove the RPMS of the programs that were
installed there. In any case, things like
nedit
xfig
xpdf
openmotif
<others>
Which were previously in the X11R6 bin/lib were now gone, but
doing an rpm -qa shows that the rpm had been unloaded too.
Why would the X11 update REMOVE these other RPMS????
Now Im here thinking about what other programs might have been
put in /usr/X11R6/bin, and also have been deleted.
Not Happy.
