This surely is a problem.  For me too.  Anyone figured out how a newby 
no-nothing could repair this?  I've been trying to figure this out since 
Saturday.  Do you think X.org will re-issue the update so it will fix 
itself if I just do "yum -update xorg-x11*"? Or is it going to be more 
complicated?
