As Far As I Know.

There are sights that list the common acronyms. I don't have a link, but
if you're interested, you can just google for it.

BTW, "btw" is a TLA, just FYI.

I suspect, if you're running Sid, that you've run into a fairly common
issue of /tmp/.ICE-unix file not belonging to root. "chmod -R root.root
/tmp/.ICE-unix" should fix this is this is the problem.

If KDM is running when you try to "startx", you'll need to specify
"startx -- :1" or something similar, or stop KDM first to do a normal
"startx".

Yes, probably.
