A couple of days ago there was a thread about desktops not starting and
similar.  The problem arose from upgrading libssl and openssl.  However, before
finding the solution through the list I dug around in my system and found an
error in the Xorg log referring to 'synaptics' module not being found.

Anyway downgrading libssl and openssl cured the problem; these packages have
now been fixed and all is back to normal.  Try another upgrade perhaps?
