Subject: After removing gdm 'startx' wont start X
Package: gdm
Version: 2.6.0.6-1
Severity: grave
I decided to 'dpkg -P gdm' yesterday and 'startx' wont start X any more
when issued by normal user 'leszek'. ( root can start it )
X server starts, ( I added a 'echo Got here! > ~/startx' to ~/.xinitrc
and I get to see the log, also, there are no errors in
/etc/X11/XFConfig-4.log ) but things go wrong later.
I think this is not an issue of a crashing WM ( WindowMaker ) because
I've tried copying all WindowMaker's -working- init settings of root
to leszek's home dir, to no avail.
I suspect this may have something to do with the fact that I had 'gdm'
to auto-login 'leszek' before.
'apt-get install gdm' solved the issue for me.
