Bug#185996: is it here again

it is attached.

since last tiem, i upgraded to experimental, downgraded to 4.2.1-11, purged xfree86 (which removed
also kde and gnome) using apt-get remove --purge, and reinstalled 4.2.1-11 . but somehow purging
does not seem to really throw everything away? the XF86Config-4 stayed the same, even if i had to
confirm autodect information ( used read-edid, mdetect and discover, as you suggested).

so for me there are the following questions remaining:

1. display managers do not work any more:

   there following is working:
   xstart:
   - starts kde
   gdm/stable, can start:
   - kde: everything works
   - Xsession: everything works, if twm is installed
   - failsave xterm: comes up with a xterm, without a window manager
   
   not working:
   xdm starting kde
      after login a black screen comes, then you are back at login
   kdm starting kde/gnome
      after login a black screen comes, then you are back at login
   gdm starting gnome
      just a try to display the splash screen, then it is gone.
      no error messages in gdm.log, and i have no idea whereelse
      they could be.


   xdm.log is attached, the error seems to be (same error as kdm):
   /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession: fold: command not found 

   # which fold
   /usr/bin/fold

   i'm using /etc/environment for setting the path, according to:
   http://www.astro.unibas.ch/~loeffler/thinkpad/p5-manualconf.xhtml#environment

   there is /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10-source-environment, which sources
   /etc/environment. there /usr/bin is in the path. it worked a month ago.

   i don't have .Xsession files.

2. why i cannot use the "alt gr" key in kde, xterm, somehow it 
   seems to do the same as "alt". xev says "alt_r". i don't
   know if menu-key and windows keys work.

   on console everything works fine.

   in Xfree.log is:
   (**) |-->Input Device "Keyboard0"
   (**) Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
   (**) XKB: rules: "xfree86"
   (**) Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
   (**) XKB: model: "pc105"
   (**) Option "XkbLayout" "de"
   (**) XKB: layout: "de"
   (**) Option "XkbVariant" "CH"
   (**) XKB: variant: "CH"
   (==) Keyboard: CustomKeycode disabled


   startup is done with gdm/stable, in gdm.log is:

   The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
   > Error:            No Symbols named "CH" in the include file "de"
   >                   Exiting
   >                   Abandoning symbols file "default" 



3. gaim does not work any more, complains with

   $ gaim
   No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig
   library is not correctly configured. You may need to
   edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information 
   about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual  
   page and on http://fontconfig.org

   this is the version which worked a month ago.

4. kde kcontrol: you can set the fonts once, the next time you start
   they are gone.
   but i suppose this is a kde/qt problem. it worked also a month
   ago, but i can't remember if kde also got updated.


a very nice thing would be, if the logmessage of the xkbcomp could be a bit more useful in future,
so you know what it executes (this one today is ok, but the last one was not very helpful).
