Actually I have /usr/X_4.3.0 and /etc/X_4.3.0 and I have a shell script 
that switches the symlinks for me. That way I can easily switch between 
my installed versions of X. To solve the install problem, I simply copy 
the original RH 7.3 files from /etc/X_rh7.3 onto my new /etc/X11 
symlinked install and everything works fine. I just wish I could avoid 
that step (and solve it for others doing the same thing).
