Actually I don't think it's that in retrospect... There seems to be two seconds where X just sits and waits. Then it closes down normally. [ 70.650] (**) Option "xkb_options" "compose:rwin" [ 72.501] (II) evdev: Power Button: Close So the next step is to see where the rest of the errors come from. 1. What display manager are you using? I'm guessing KDM. If so what does /var/log/kdm.log say? I suspect it has those dbus related errors... but it would be nice to confirm. I'm pretty sure it's KDM that failing and subsequently bringing X down with it. I'll see if I can reproduce with KDM here.
