Hello all.

Apologies for what maybe an off topic post, but I was hoping someone
here may be able to help. I have gnome installed on a debian testing
system. It worked fine for me until recently, and I'm guessing
something must have broken during an upgrade, but don't know exactly
when, or which upgrade, since I don't use gnome daily on this machine.

What happens is that I login, here "welcome to orca", and after about
40 seconds or so, here my pc speaker beep, placing me again at the
login screen. Here's the output of my $HOME/.xsession-errors:

/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...

most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.

It sounds like the X server is crashing, but I'm not sure. Can someone
shed some light on the problem, and solution please? If more info is
needed, please let me know. Also, if you feel this is inappropriate
for the list, go ahead and reply privately, and thanks in advance.

Greg

P.S. I do have a monitor connected to the vga port, and powered up.
