Good. That may be network related, but with X, who knows? May even be a
framebuffer issue.

Normally that file is a user created file, however, some programs may
create that automagically in your home directory. Not sure if the install
of Linuxcnc does that or not. I'll have to check that on my machine at
home.

Wonder why it's trying to delete an existing directory, with files in it?
Since that's the case, rename the ncgui_lib directory to some other name
and see if it will run.

Nope, /net directories are controlled, I believe by autofs, and only autofs
can make or destroy directories there.

I think that has something to do with a bad exit code from KDE/Gnome etc.
I've seen that message before. It's no big deal. Some places have said
that if you use shutdown from a terminal rather than either an init 6 or
init 0, or the shutdown menu item you may see that. You can ignore that.
Another place to look when troubleshooting X, is /var/log/Xorg.0.log. That
gets updated and rotated at the beginning of every X session.
