You can use |mtree| and the files in |/etc/mtree| to check the existence
and integrity of files on your system—if you’re really curious.
The daily |crontab| runs the security script, which executes |mtree|
(among other checks), and sends an email reporting filesystem changes
and other information, depending on your |security.conf| settings.
Of course, you’ll need |anacron| or something similar on a machine that
isn't running at 4:15 AM, and it requires a working shell (|sh|), |
sendmail|, and other necessary components. :)

Many thanks Kami, I apreciate your reply. I was so nervous that I should
examine what was exactly broken before fixing it. But sometimes when you
are in such situation do not think well ;-)
Regards.

Probably other programs could fail

fixing the system reinstalling sets. home directory seems to be intact.
I think I will never know what mistake I did. Perhaps an
uncontrolled rm
command started deleting files until Xorg bombed out and stopped.
