Bug#523636: xserver-xorg: after upgrade cannot open any window
Tried with xfce and everything seemed to work. Soi this might be
something with Gnome, but....
Logging into the failing machine from another machine via XDMCP does
work normally, whereas logging from that failing machine into the other
machine (that works normally) doesn't work (with the same symptoms).
And I don't think that gnome is coming into play in this case.
I am puzzled. If you want to assign this bug to another packet, go
ahead. I have no idea where to look.
