Absent other ideas, I might try re-installing CentOS or re-installing X. I have a pretty good idea how to do the former, but the latter might be harder despite, in principle, being less intrusive.
My understand is that unistalling X will normally take all its dependents will it. That means That I will have to re-install said dependents, possibly listing each one separately. My thought is to /usr/bin/script yum's output into a file. I'd use the file to produce another yum commmand to reinstall X's dependents. Does that seem like a good plan? To reinstall CentOS, I would back up things that needed backing up. I would use yum to list all installed packages. I would use my grub menu to select the same stanza that I used to do a net-install of CentOS. It might be nice to use a kickstart file, but I do not know how. After the install, I would restore the directory that listed all my repositories. This is a step I am not sure about. I have a vague recollection that that is not sufficient. What else would I need to do? I would use the yum listing to install everything I have now.
