Dale, I have sort of been following that thread and it has been on my mind. I currently do seem to be using 4.3.2 and I've wondered if that requires a complete rebuild of the machine. I don't mind doing that but I don't want to start down that path until I've exhausted all other possibilities as it takes so much time. I'm pretty sure my current kernel was compiled with 4.3.2 and X certainly was as I built it this morning.
