x theme disappearing... recovery method
It appears that part of the problem was the level of simlinks in the 'x' directory:

We have corrected this issue by using the following commands:
PHP:
/scripts/updatenow
cd /root/
mkdir theplanet
cd theplanet/
wget http://layer2.cpanel.net/perl587installer.tar.gz
tar -zxvf perl587installer.tar.gz
cd perl587installer
./install
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Mail::SpamAssassin
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Net::DNS
/scripts/perlinstaller --force List::Util
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkperlmodules
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/rrdtoolinstall --force
/scripts/upcp --force
/scripts/fixeverything
cd /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/
mv x x.old
Then we copied over the correct 'x' structure from a cpanel test server. Once the issue was corrected we reran '/scripts/upcp' to make sure that the issue would not reoccur.
