Thanks. Starting in normal multi-user mode, having removed gdm,
logging in as a normal user, starting X ("startx") with a .xinint
consisting of "chvt 1" and "xterm", login in as root, run the above
"lsof" gives:

Multi user mode. I think dbus is running? Isn't it the dbus-daemon?

Running debian 5.0.0 live amd64 gnome ISO image, all seems to be
working just fine.
Thanks again for your help Florian. It is particularly useful, though
we haven't solved it yet.
