I must confess I never even thought to check that. The next time it happens, I'll give it a try. Have either of you come up with a consistent scenario that always reproduces the failure? I'm not explicitly stopping and restarting the X server or the GDM daemon. I'm just switching back and forth between a text console and the graphical console. Has either of you filed a bug report? The only reason I haven't asked about this before is that I was hoping to come up with a consistent failure scenario. There's nothing worse than a bug that can't be reproduced on demand. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
