Guy's there's an even better way: Just log in on the console as "root" or "su" and start the control center by typing "mcc" (without the quotes). It also works w/o X being configured! That way you'll be able to reconfigure everything you want in a gui which is fairly self-explanatory. If someone misses out on the X configuration, there's bound to be more stuff mis-configured.
