Currently `/usr/X11R6` points to `/usr`.

```
> ls -l /usr/X11R6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 4 Jun 15 04:36 /usr/X11R6 -> /usr
```

The GDM configure script, goes through all these paths, to determine the
path for the X server binary.

Therefore, remove the symbolic link, already done by removing
XScreenSaver 5.11 with `sudo bee update xscreensaver`, and rebuild GDM,
so that it picks up the binaries under `/usr/bin`.

Another option would be, to hardcode the know paths as done in
OpenEmbedded [1].
