I hope you don't mind me putting this back on the alias, but this is significant. It proves that Ubuntu (not Debian - my mistake) uses a different version of "sh" than other distros (RHEL, SLES, and apparently Debian).

Anybody know the details here? What is the Ubuntu default sh?

That's bad. So it seems that gdm is using "sh" instead of "ksh" as the shell
command interpreter.
Can you try those function definitions within "sh"?
$ /bin/sh
$ function logerr {
/bin/sh: function: not found

$/bin/sh
$ logerr() {
echo "Xsetup2 error: $1"
logger -t Xsetup2 -ip user.error "error: $1"
}
$ logerr "Testing 10,9,8"
Xsetup2 error: Testing 10,9,8
$ exit

Is "sh" different in the Debian environment from other Linux distros?

Jens and I are running Ubuntu - and we have this problem
Meik is running Debian and doesn't have the problem.
