It's the DE failing to start causing X to quit, then the DM trying to
spawn the fallback before X has cleaned up.

Title:
[gm45] X-Server fails to start at boot time, debconf complains about
unavailable TERM
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xorg
Since upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 I have trouble getting the xserver
and kdm to start up. I did some investigation and found the following
log in the kdm.log file:

and X does not start at all. After the initial boot messages, nothing happens
any more, CTRL-ALT-F1 does behave strange, it shows a big underlined-cursor.
When I then press CTRL-F7, I see the output for the tty1. Alt-SysRq-... allows
me to bring down the machine graacefully, but I am not able to get a working
console.
When I start in "recovery mode", I can choose "resume normal boot",
which brings me to a text console. From there doing "sudo kdm" starts
the XServer normally and displays the login prompt.
Attached logs are from a self-compiled kernel, but I have the same
thing with the official -14 and -15 kernel from Karmic.
