I went to init 3 then ran the Move-things-back script. Only message was about
being unable to remove /usr/lib/X11 because it's a directory.

After the update, X did not start because it couldn't find the config file and
the default config failed. There was no xorg.conf in /etc/X11. I ran XFdrake,
which created xorg.conf. X started normally and seems stable so far.
