Uh, hm.  Unfortunately, X is a big mess for now, I wouldn't have
recommended playing with it if your exsiting copy was v3.2 and working
properly.  It's compiled for 3.0-CURRENT and will cause odd problems for
you if you aren't running it...

Make sure there is only one libXmu, reboot, and if that doesn't work, dig
out your 2.1.6 CD and reinstall X from that.
