	Bingo - thats the problem. /usr/X11R6 is linking to 'X11R6'
	which is better described as 'the name X11R6 in the same
	directory', or 'itself' :)

	As I believe someone else said, you need to:
	rm /usr/X11R6
	ln -s /home/x/X11R6 /usr/X11R6

	When creating a symlink always think "if I'm in the same directory
	as the symlink, what would I have to type to get to where I'm
	symlinking"
