I think you're very brave to do that. I think reinstalling a newer version of xorg would break pango and cairo and everything that depends on them (ie, pretty much anything that uses xorg). Command line programs would work but trying to get any GUI things working again would be a nightmare. You'd have a mass of things in /usr that were compiled against the old xorg. Reinstalling the apps may work, but they may try to link against the old broken stuff. If you want to reinstall xorg it's easier to just redo the whole system than to try and deal with the brokeness.
