It's not only suspicious, it IS the problem. I just wonder why I did get the
graphical login on LM7.2 even though I had the same problem. It used to ask
me to check /etc/hosts but only after I logged in. Something must have
changed that X doesn't start if your hostname isn't correctly set. Anyway, thanks a
lot, it works now.
