To reproduce this do the following:

1. Install Ubuntu 12.04
2. Upgrade to the LTS enablement stack
3. Purge the old config via aptitude purge ~c

This will remove the files /etc/X11/X and /etc/X11/xorg.conf (and maybe /etc/X11/default-display-manager can't remember if this was caused by something else).

To fix this run (thanks to http://askubuntu.com/questions/232926/etc-x11-x-not-executable-error-when-startx)

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
