I have the exactly same version, also on Debian, kernel 2.6.26-1-686.
Do you have TwinView enabled? Did you try it with gdmflexiserver or
something else?

/etc/X11/Xsession does it right, but as I am using gdm, this is not
used. In /etc/gdm/Xsession it says:
# The output is ALREADY redirected to .xsession-errors in GDM. This way
# .xsession-errors actually gets more output such as if the PreSession
# script is failing. This also prevents DoS attacks if some app in the
# users session can be prodded to dump lots of stuff on the
# stdout/stderr. We wish to be robust don't we? In case you wish to
# use an existing script for other DM's, you can just not redirect when
# GDMSESSION is set. GDMSESSION will always be set from gdm.
There is no further occurence of ``xsession-errors'' in /etc/gdm/. Maybe
it is hardcoded. I'm too lazy to dig further.
Maybe I should get rid of gdm completely, it seems a bit overkill.
Any suggestions for a more lightweight alternative? What is an awesome
display manager? Or do you guys just use startx?
(Sorry for going way off topic here.)
Greetings,
Frank
