(...) There was a stupid problem: ALL: 127.0.0.1 / ALL: localhost was missing in /etc/hosts.allow. Fixed that. Yet, the situation remained strange: When starting KDE with KDM -> problem gone. With startx (as I normally do) it persisted -- although there was no apparent difference in how the X server was started. Finally, I decided to upgrade the whole system to testing. This fixed the problem. Sorry that I did not track down the issue further -- would have been interesting but I was running out of time. Martin, if you want that coffee, get in contact pls :) Cheers Stephan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
