xorg-x11 may have broken my system

Depends on what you mean by "fine" -- to me, a system on which "It is possible
for a user to gain elevated privileges by loading a specially crafted pixmap
image." (quoting from the announcement for xorg-x11 release 37.FC4.48.1) would
only be considered "fine" by the standards of a certain well-known large
software vendor, and certainly not by the linux community.
