Bug#442921: xorg: X crashes on starting most clients

[Vincent Lönngren <bice77@malmo2.net>]

Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.3+2
Severity: normal

There were a lot of upgrades of X-related packages today, and since then 
I couldn't get gdm to run. After fiddling around I found a lot of 
things that didn't run. I narrowed it down somewhat:

$ X 1> output.txt

Works just fine, X starts. After switching to tty2:

$ DISPLAY=:0.0 xclock

Nothing happens. Peace and quiet. Then when I switch back to X it 
crashes. I've tried this with two different video drivers, the nv driver 
and the closed source nvidia driver. It happens with almost any most 
clients, however not with xlogo, xeyes or oclock.

I'm attaching output.txt, created as described above.
