Thanks to Rene Koopal I solved this problem it had nothing to do with
the entry from the kernel log. Apparently that's been around for a
while and has to do with the fact that the MGA drivers are out of
date, I just hadn't noticed it before. The real problem was this
little beauty:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=113878&repeatmerged=yes
which will probably affect others. Essentially you need to remove the
quotes from around $REALSTARTUP in
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_start
Wonder how a bug that probably affects so many people made it into
"testing"?
