It had better be. This is a brand-new laptop.
The only xorg-x11-related changes in the update yesterday were
Installing:
xorg-x11-drivers i686 7.3-14.fc13 fedora 7.8 k
xorg-x11-drv-fpit i686 1.3.0-10.fc13 updates-testing 14 k
xorg-x11-drv-synaptics i686 1.2.2-2.fc13 updates-testing 61 k
xorg-x11-drv-vmmouse i686 12.6.9-2.fc13 updates-testing 17 k
xorg-x11-drv-wacom i686 0.10.5-2.fc13 updates-testing 113 k
Updating for dependencies:
xorg-x11-server-Xorg i686 1.8.0-7.fc13 updates-testing 1.3 M
xorg-x11-server-common i686 1.8.0-7.fc13 updates-testing 60 k
Trying to revert these got me into the loop I described above.
In case there's some sort of interaction with another installed package I
listed them all - many obviously not needed by me.
