Thanks again Oli. Then I misunderstood man apt-get:

build-dep
build-dep causes apt-get to install/remove packages in an attempt to
satisfy the build dependencies for a source package.

I was thinking that would pull in any missing dependencies that may have
been removed from the XFree86 attempt.

Would this be a better choice?

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get reinstall ~ixorg
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
