Well I haven't quit X throughout this process; so I doubt its the
server.
If I do:
apt-get install xlibs=4.2.1-7
I'm back to the situation of being unable to run clients and then if I
do:
apt-get install xlibs=4.2.1-6 xlibs-dev=4.2.1-6 xlibs-pic=4.2.1-6
I can run the clients again.
Note the X server has been running since Saturday morning before I ran
the upgrade that got me 4.2.1-7. Its a kdm session I'm in.

I guess it could be kdm/the server/the libraries disagreeing and that
its just a matter of the two being the same - so perhaps a new library
would work with a authority file created by a new server/kdm/whatever ?
