I used Apt to upgrade from Slink to Potato, now X doesn't work. The X server will start, the background appears and the mouse cursor will move around the screen (running twm), but no xterm appears and the cursor menu won't appear when I press the mouse button. So I can't do anything except move the cursor around a blank background and exit with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? It worked fine before the upgrade and I had no problems when I upgraded from Hamm to Slink using Apt. Here is the last of the screen output when I start X if that will give anyone a clue. I tried to capture all of it by starting a script but then X wouldn't start at all, so this is all I could get.
