X broke

[Romeyn Prescott]

Well, I've been messing around...

I eventually used apt-get to remove libxmuu1.  That carved out about 
90 megs of "stuff".  I then reinstalled it, but that didn't do much. 
I then installed gdm, but it wouldn't load all the way.  (But it got 
farther than before I started all of this...)

So I just typed 'apt-get install gnome'...and I fear that was a 
mistake, as it's installing all sorts of CRAP like abiword.

Is there something I can type that will revert packages back to the 
way they were post-install without actually re-installing?
