Sorry to reply to myself, but thought the information might be useful. After spending much of the day sniffing about, a likely cause was that my update had filled /var, and that would prevent X from starting. However, that was not so in my case, although it is something good to keep in mind. I finally discovered that changing my window manager executable in ~/.xsession from icewm to icewm-session, as I was advised to do, caused the X server to die once I had booted. Changing it back to "icemn" allowed user to start X. Haines Brown -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
