I wonder if my previous problem was triggered by the time of day as it was just around midnight. I noticed this in the aptitude output: Setting up gdm3 (2.30.5-6squeeze3) ... Scheduling reload of GNOME Display Manager configuration: gdm3. I don't know how it does that, but perhaps it happened right away and triggered a restart of X? Anyway, I guess I've proved to myself that the problem wasn't as generic as I had believed from the first experience. --Donald Teed
