Yeah, this is a problem with ?dm and authorization. Try 'startx' from
the command line.

For the BTS, the problem is that gcc3.3 screws up authentication somehow
- either cpp3.3's semantics changing, or miscompiled code. This has been
seen to happen on both powerpc and i386 now, so it's not a
single-architecture problem. Ugh. :(
