Yes, of course it does restart on error and similarily of course I had an error, but I only have one error message in the logs. Besides, can it respawn so fast that it blocks the rest of the system? > Did the gdm/xsession/any other log have something useful to say? > Currently I'm quite stumped as to where the bug may be. Same here. What happens on your system if you enable that config line without the right parameter? Honestly I haven't checked since finding my problem, but it may also have to do with a non-existing default sink. Anyway, I shall try again and report back.
