After upgrading XFree86 and Nautilus today, I have found myself unable
to boot into Linux at all.

Did you upgrade ALL the XFree86 pacakges?  (or all the 4.0.2-5mdk ones at 
least)

Well I did, but halfway through upgrading XFree86, my machine hung, I had to do an rpm --rebuilddb and then when I tried to reupgrade it, I was told it already existed. I thought nothing of it at the time, but maybe this has something to do with it?

Now, on my machine here..  

libXmu.so.6 is a symlink to /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6.2

[shalrath@charybdis ~/share]$ rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.*
XFree86-static-libs-4.0.3-5mdk
XFree86-devel-4.0.3-5mdk
XFree86-libs-4.0.3-5mdk
XFree86-libs-4.0.3-5mdk
[shalrath@charybdis ~/share]$

rpm -qf (file) will tell you what package a file belongs to.

please do an rpm -qa |grep XFree86  and make sure all packages appear with 
the same version/build number.  Ie, all should state XFree86-*-4.0.3-5mdk

To be on the safe side, make sure that /etc/ld.so.conf contains a line 
stating: 

/usr/X11R6/lib

and run ldconfig as root afterwards.

Thanks! Will try this!
