Directories also need the execute permission for one to be able
to read them (this is an over-simplification, but essentially true).

On my installation, which hasn't had the permissions tinkered with,
all directories under /etc/X11 have permissions 770.

Try running this command:

find /etc/X11 -type d -exec chmod 770 {} +
