Restart xfs, probably with
/etc/init.d/xfs stop
/etc/init.d/xfs start
I don't *think* "restart" will work here.
Some of the files you copied were not files or links but something
stranger (named pipes or sockets I think).
The font server is still listening to the old copy, but a new X server
will talk to the new copy :-)
