"(find /usr/X11R6 -type f | xargs rpm -qf) | sort | uniq" gives the 
following output on my system:
fonts-xorg-75dpi-6.8.2-1
fonts-xorg-base-6.8.2-1
fonts-xorg-truetype-6.8.2-1
multimedia-2.1-21
openmotif-2.2.3-10
playmidi-X11-2.4-16
xinitrc-4.0.19-1
xorg-x11-6.8.2-45
xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.8.2-45
xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.8.2-45
xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.2-45
xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-45
xorg-x11-font-utils-6.8.2-45
xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-45
xorg-x11-tools-6.8.2-45
xorg-x11-xauth-6.8.2-45
xorg-x11-xdm-6.8.2-45
xorg-x11-xfs-6.8.2-45
xscreensaver-base-4.22-10
xterm-200-7

IOW:
multimedia
openmotif
playmidi
xscreensaver-base
xterm

Are the only non xorg packages on my system which use /use/X11R6 and 
thus need fixing.

Regards,

Hans
