See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=597937 and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=601003 There was a patch to slim which might help though: http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=17757&group_id=2663 > I'm sorry I can't offer the solution yet. It'd help to have a backtrace, and you can try with another login manager (I think plain startx with “startxfce4” in your .xsession would work). Check that ck-list-session returns something like: corsac@hidalgo: ck-list-sessions Session9: unix-user = '1000' realname = 'Yves-Alexis Perez' seat = 'Seat1' session-type = '' active = TRUE x11-display = ':0' x11-display-device = '/dev/tty8' display-device = '' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2011-02-19T22:19:19.773649Z' login-session-id = '4294967295' especially the active = TRUE and is-local = TRUE Regards, -- Yves-Alexis
