Ted My next suggestion would be 'fink remove xfree86-rootless' then do 'sudo apt-get install xfree86-rootless' and install the binary.
Also just out of interest what happens when rename the XDarwin folder to XDarwin.app??? and when you do a 'fink remove xfree86-rootless' is the XDarwin folder being removed????
