I've started an upgrade from Sarge to Etch through the Synaptic Package manager under Gnome. The package repositories all look for stable. I selected the "normal" level of questions from the terminal interface. It was going well, but now XScreenSaver activated and it does not accept my password,

Etch upgrade problem with font server

Yesterday, I took the leap and upgraded from Sarge to Etch by following the Etch release notes as best I could. The upgrade appeared to work very well, but for some font problems. I'm very new to debian and linux, so may have made some poor decisions during the upgrade. The xfs font server I
