Hi again, rereading my mail from tonight the startup sequence seems to be not too clear. Must have been very sleepy :-) At the moment I start all three servers in the order gdomap - gdnc - gpbs right after the display manager (wdm). On the boot screen I can see the output from the various scripts, and see at least the beginning of my gnustep start script appearing _before_ switching to graphics mode. Could it be that gpbs is up and running way before X comes up, and that gpbs depends strongly on X? This might explain the behaviour.
