That bug has been reassigned to xbase-clients and merged with a number of bugs regarding the recent xauth trouble, and will likely be closed soon as the xauth problem has been fixed. If this was indeed the problem, upgrading back to xfree86-common 3.3.6-4 should give no trouble as long as xbase-clients is 3.3.6-5 or higher. Another important change in the xfree86-common package is that all support for the /etc/X11/window-managers file has been removed. Window managers should now use the alternatives system. You may want to check that the /usr/bin/x-window-manager symlink is valid. The command "update-alternatives --auto x-window-manager" will reset that symlink to auto mode if for some reason it is manual (on my system it for some reason was stuck in manual mode pointing to twm, which had been uninstalled). -- finger for GPG public key.
