It isn't so obvious to me, nor likely obvious to anyone else, that the 3.3.6 X server is in the package labeled 4.0.1-11. :) Sometimes, it is the obvious things that need to be pointed out -- since it mightnot be obvious to anyone else. :) Chances are good you want the task-x-window-system package installed.
