      init 3 it did shutdown the partly working X session. Several line 
flashed on screen and 2 had FAILED at end of line. Too fast to readtwhat 
it said.
      startx  Fatal server error:
                   Server is already active for display 0
                  If the server is no longer running, remove /tmp/ 
.X0-lock and start again.
         I did yum remove /tmp/ .X0-lock. It removed 17 packages and 
then I did startx (again)  Got the same  re: remove /tmp/ .X0-lock. One 
other line I saw Unable to connect to X server was present in output of 
startx.
