Thanks for the explanation. It's just a pitty, it worked all the years
(ever since I can remember, actually, basically since the 90s) until I
decided to switch to Testing last year. And yes, I used different
display manager chooser (kdm, xdm (long, long ago) and the last years
sddm).

So hopefully it can be restored soon.

Greetings
