Every so often I see this: They may or may not be connected Ric. I am running Sid and regularly my .xsession-errors file grow to several hundred k filled with those errors and other. Now Google-chrome is also dumping hundreds of errors into the same file. But everything seems to work my my system under IceWm, Mate and Cinnamon. process 3303: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, assertion "path != NULL" failed in file ../../../dbus/dbus-message.c line 1363. This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library. This is a mindblower. :) Ric Those I don't see. Frank
