Kindly help me with this problematic post upgrade "autoremove"

Hi. Yestarday I upgraded my system using command line from tty terminal from Fedora 32 to 34.
My system is Fedora X64 bit Cinnamon edition.

After upgraded, I run “sudo dnf autoremove” & output was:

sudo dnf autoremove

After I removed all those packages, I noticed that one of my Cinnamon DE 3rd party applet “Force Quit” stop from working ! I realized that cause is removal of xkill package. I immediately opened thread on Fedora community forum & know from them that package “xorg-x11-server-utils” was retired & individual component were shipped individually & that I should install them back manually - see discussion at:
[SOLVED] Problematic "autoremove" after upgrade from Fedora 32 to 34 !!

I’m installed back xkill package. But I do not know which of the following package I should also install back:

xgamma
xinput
xisxwayland
xkill
xmodmap
xorg-x11-font-utils
xrdb
xrefresh
xset
xsetroot
xstdcmap
iceauth
sessreg

How can I know which of them needed really by my system ?? Are all of them belong to old retired package ??

Please notice that Cinnamon edition of Fedora use only xorg server not wayland …

I think Fedora community forum can not gave more because majority favor to perform fresh installation …

Any help is appreciated !
