After upgrade from Ubuntu 7.04 (x86) to Ubuntu 7.10, gnome-session and
startkde fail to start (.xsession-errors states that the start failed,
but gives no further indication on why they do so) and only a xterminal
and no window manager is started after log-in to the GUI.
There were already bugs reported regarding this, but none of the
comments turned out to be of much help. A colleague of mine guessed
right in that the change of the system (bourne) shell to dash caused
gnome-session and startkde to fail. Indeed after linking /bin/bash to
/bin/sh, startkde works just fine again (I haven't tried gnome-session
yet).
