I have seen a similar symptom on 1 out of three computers that I have
running
potato. In my case, I am not running xdm but gdm and I am able to log
in and
run any X applications from the GUI but if I try to run one from a
command line
in a a terminal, I get the same message.
This happens only when I am using a Gnome session. With a Debian
session it works
fine. Furthermore, as root there are no problems. Since I am seeing
this on one
of three machines which are presumabley set up in the same way, I am
presuming that
it is some incorrect configuration file somewhere. If anyone has an
insight, I would appreciate it. My next move is to purge all X packages
and reinstall...
