There's the problem, then. You do not have "thinkpad" as an entry in
your /etc/hosts file, so the system is unable to lookup "the IP address"
for its own hostname. X sessions tend to frown upon that.
Adding "thinkpad" to the 127.0.1.1 line should take care of this. You
can retain the other fields, and simply use thinkpad as a second alias.
