I've just tried this and I think you are right --- it
just freezes... (Interestingly, if you type "logout"
and hit Enter at this frozen stage, it brings you back
to an unfrozen login window...)

Well, I think my ibook (3-yo 700MHzG3) is slower
running Tiger (though I'm not quite sure yet, only
installed it last weekend!) and, since a lot of the
stuff I do is work with remote unix machines anyway, I
thought that just having X running, rather than X and
Aqua, would be an improvement. There is, of course,
the anarchist in me who would like to do it anyway!

Was there a trick on Panther (I've tried to google for
this, unsuccessfully) to get it working? Something
about the keyboard files having moved?

Thanks!
Pedro
