Hmmm, they don't look like setuid :

# dir /usr/X11R6/bin/X
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 22 2005-02-02 11:52 /usr/X11R6/bin/X
          -> /usr/X11R6/bin/X Free86

# dir /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 1745740 2004-12-15 13:19 /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86


Should I do:
# chmod 4000 /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86
