My symptoms are somewhat different: I get not only the XP splash screen
but the background it usually shows when I log in (though maybe not the
toolbar). XP logs me in automatically. I got a BSOD type error. And I
was running kvm 72+dfsg-5~lenny2, tried 72+dfsg-5 (testing), and then
went back to lenny's version. Same problem under all conditions.
(problems might have started then, but I think it was earlier).
533853 reports problems with later versions (84 and 85), which is not
exactly encouraging about what will happen when I try the latest
version.
