So it seems.

I used a self-burned official CD-set, using apt-get as documented in
the Release Notes, twiddling the CDs after the upgrade from the first
CD was done. That broke my X configuration, i.e., xbase was "upgraded" 
just as described in the "Great X Reorganisation" section and did not
automagically include all of the other new X packages - no wonder, as
they were not on one CD but instead split other both CDs. So I had to
use dpkg for about five to ten packages. Well, after that, everything [1]
worked as expected.
