Hi Wayne,

First -- never, ever, ever, ever, ever run Debian unstable and be
surprised when something breaks, or even expect it not to be broken in
the first place... especially when doing updates. 

Second -- This is a known issue:

I don't think it has anything to do with running X as root, the new
updates break several things due to "some problems with GCC 3.3."
