In Synaptic I found a large number of files matching a search for xorg, including a metapackage simply titled Xorg. I would suspect that removing everything xorg and accepting the dependent removals, noting then beforehand, would get rid of X. But because there are a bunch of packages, perhaps there is one or another that is related to either bluetooth or mouse management that may be the root source. > Also, what will happen > if I uninstall X from the GUI?

I don't actually know where X ends and Gnome starts. Section Gnome shows all those packages. Again, it might be possible to narrow down the root to a bluetooth or mouse package. > Oh, and "reinstall Jaunty" is > not a good option. It would take days Backups and clones would have helped, but they need to be done after a fresh install with all your tweaks.
