My usual aptitude safe-upgrade routine has not throw any errors. I do  
remember a libxcb-* package updating (or installing?) on the last run.  
This is the only relevant package I can recall. I will of course  
provide other helpful info on request  :)

I'd like my X back, but approaching this problem is beyond my level of  
knowledge.

Thanks
