sax -a in a console does the trick just fine.
This is the same issue as with zypper and the multiversion setting. You "simply" need to know the name of the tool or conf parameter. Then you're able to fix an issue. This approach is know not to work for people new to Linux. For advanced users we have to provide the opportunity to disable all kind of automatisms. But the average users needs to be guided into the direction of the solution. IIRC we had this kind of X11 configuration after a hardware change or a crash some month before. The X11 team has to have this on the agenda and might even provide a much better approach than the suggested one. The vendor has to ensure to start with a decent, conservative default X11 config in the case the display managers fails to start. Then we're able to display a message regarding the sub optimal X11 configuration and suggest to start sax or which tool ever is need to perform the fine tuning.
