One possible fix is (re)Installing the package  'xfce4'
which should bring in all the parts(pieces) required.

Another possible way to get a Graphical desktop back is the
install(reinstall) all the packages in the attached file 'Requires.txt'
this is the list for Lubuntu 14.04 but at least it may get X back working:

   cat Requires.txt | xargs sudo apt-get install

{ to do it all }
