Hello SuSE users,
While searching for files in /usr/bin I noticed something that seems odd to
me. There is a folder in there named X11.
Yes, the /usr/bin/X11 DIRECTORY has been a standard path for
well over 20 years now for all standard X11 utilities.

Because it's a symbolic link pointing back at itself...
However, /usr/bin/X11 isn't supposed to be one....

No, because /usr/bin/X11 is supposed to point at /usr/X11R6/bin.
do the following:
$ su
password:
# cd /usr/bin
# rm X11
# ln ../X11R6/bin X11
# exit
$ ls -al /usr/bin/X11
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2006-12-26 /usr/bin/X11 -> ../X11R6/bin
