if i reboot, i get the loginbox -> flash flash -> loginbox routine.
so i shut gdm and startx. rebooting has not helped much this go-round.
without any gnome on the box, gdm can't do much. guess i'll insert an
exit 0 at the top of /etc/init.d/gdm.
also, having purged everything gnome or ximian related, my apt-get etc is
clogged with gnome + ximian packages wanting to be re-installed. so i
guess they are still in deb form in /var/apt...
think i need a night's sleep.
