Phew!
 
Ok, folks.  I've learned the XFS is very essential to running X. 
I've also learned how to start the XFS from the command line.  I turns out I was able to just "ctrl"+"c" the "sending all processes the TERM signal", bringing me to a login prompt at runlevel 3.  I logged in as root and typed:
 
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs start"
 
I saw that the X Font Server was started, and I typed "init 5", bring me to the graphical login.
 
From there I went to Startup Services in DrakConf and ethusiastically renabled XFS.
 
Have I learned my lesson!
 
(Namely, that Linux is a great platform to learn the intricacies of your computer.)
 
And, to never touch a live wire, toast always falls heavy side down, XFS is important to X, and the basics of run-level scripts!
