Thanks for your reaction! If I do 'startx' as root, I see the exact same
'fish bone' screen. If I do this as regular user, I see all these x
lines in the console but it ends with 'waiting for x server to shut
down'. After that, my .xsession-errors shows:
x-window-manager: unable to open fontset

I expect my system to have gnome, since it did just before I upgraded
from Potato to Woody. In fact, it runs Ximian-Gnome (or 'did' I should
say). gdm exists in /etc/init.d
Any further suggestions are tremendously appreciated!
