It sounds like you or something else accidently moved your /etc/X11
directory to /etc/CORBA/X11.

If that is the case, then move it back again:

mv /etc/CORBA/X11 /etc/X11


Notes:

1. CORBA (or rather Orbit with implements CORBA) is for communication
between processes. It is used by Gnome packages. (this is a
deliberately simplified description).

2. you really should say what version of Debian you are using and/or the
versions of relevant packages...
