My bad. My very bad. I was in a hurry and annoyed that a simple update
after installing F10 always crapped out due to a conflict. I'm not sure
why there would be any conflicts on a newly installed F10. Regardless,
I'll never blindly remove software again. I re-installed xorg and gnome
and that has fixed the problem.

Thanks for your help.
