That would help. It just seemed like the error was coming from GDM, though. But, yes, you can debug gnome-session as described here: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/gnome/config.html If you have d-bus, I would highly suggest using that form. If gnome-session seems to work successfully, then you're back to debugging gdm. I read the link you provided but didn't see anything on debugging. From what I can see gnome is running OK but I still can't get it to run orca. The output on the console after ctl+alt+backspace looks and suggests gnome-session was running: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Mon Aug 27 21:57:48 2007 (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" Fulfilled via DRI at 20486400 Freed 20486400 (pool 2) The application 'gnome-session' lost its connection to the display :0.0; most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application. xinit: connection to X server lost.
