Hmmm.....  Are you suggesting I do ps -aux and see what is running (X) by 
default?
I am using a standard workstation installation with Gnome and Xorg. Excuse 
my ignorance but that do you mean by the console here...

Another problem I have is that the shutdown doesn't work in Gnome, you have 
to be root on a terminal window and then type halt to kill everything...

Could this be related?
