By "solved my problem", I meant lockups (still up to date 8.10 Gnome). I continue to have weird problems I suspect being x700 and driver specific. - the aforementioned interference-like Xorg initializations. - for example when clicking "switch user" at a GDM user password prompt : it does nothing and, after typing the password, as many messages as clicks appear, saying Xorg could not initialize - other similar cases like not switching to another users - Celestia would stop initializing for any user with a message saying it issued an invalid X request; all users' Appearances were showing as if 'no effects' had been configured. The system was rebooted, all users' Appearances went back to Normal Effects and Celestia was on orbit again.
