Bug#657416: xinit: startx does not start window manager
Package: xinit
Version: 1.3.1-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
startx does not start the window manager in debian/testing. It boots to the default background image and then hangs. Same sign when starting System Session through GDM.
Selecting GNOME or KDE session through GDM though works fine.
Sincerely,
Adrian Kiess
