The directory is also created when running `startx', so I don't really think it is a gdm problem. I found this in the Debian Bug Database just now: http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=66225 This is not the same problem, but it is the same directory and also around the time I started having my problem, so they might be related. I run woody, by the way. My X packages are ii xserver-common 3.3.6-10 files and utilities common to all X servers ii xserver-svga 3.3.6-10 X server for SVGA graphics cards The system is fairly updated with all the newest packages. -- Kjetil
