OK, I have no details because it's not killing me or anything. Currently my box boots to GDM (sid). Works great. I'm thinking of killing that againbecause I do a lot of stuff remotely through ssh and read my mail via IMAP (Courier). Just want to free up the rescources since X isn't being used most of the time.
I'm also probably going to dump the whole "desktop manager" (Gnome right now) thing. Once again, freeing up resources used by things that I don't (use). So, I logged out of Gnome, hopped over to a terminal window, and killed GDM (using init.d/gdm stop). Checked that my .xsession ended with 'exec gnome-session' since that's what I've been logging in with through GDM, and ran 'startx'. X goes as far as bringing up the Gnome startup screen then sig-11's. Nothing in .xsession-errors, it just goes away (and usually leaves me sitting on the empty VT-7 rather than recovering to the starting VT). So, I changed .xsession to 'exec sawfish'. No gnome splash screen this time -- but it still catches a signal 11 and dies. X and Gnome/Sawfish all work fine from GDM. Has anyone else seen this? Ability to start from a *DM but segfault from startx?
