After upgrading from 4.2.1-6 to 4.2.1-7, first sylpheed-claws could not
start (something about a key mismatch and not being able to connect to
the display, I didn't manage to get the full error message down).
After logging out of KDE (3.1), kdm took back over and immediately
started failing. I restarted kdm, but the screen flickered a few times,
and the following showed up in syslog. surgo is merely my machine name:
Jun 8 02:32:10 surgo kdm[15884]: Greeter exited unexpectedly
Jun 8 02:32:10 surgo kdm[15884]: Abnormal helper termination, code 1,
signal 0
Jun 8 02:32:18 surgo kdm[15889]: Greeter exited unexpectedly
Jun 8 02:32:18 surgo kdm[15889]: Abnormal helper termination, code 1,
signal 0
Jun 8 02:32:26 surgo kdm[15894]: Greeter exited unexpectedly
Jun 8 02:32:26 surgo kdm[15894]: Abnormal helper termination, code 1,
signal 0
Jun 8 02:32:34 surgo kdm[15899]: Greeter exited unexpectedly
Jun 8 02:32:34 surgo kdm[15899]: Abnormal helper termination, code 1,
signal 0
Jun 8 02:32:34 surgo kdm[15882]: Display :0 is being disabled
(restarting too fast)
The problems I found were with sylpheed-claws and kdm, but I believe
this is a general X11 problem because they were both broken upon X11's
upgrade to 2.4.1-7
