I'm not sure it's the same problem; does it also happen with startx for you? If not, your problem could be a known race condition where the X server doesn't attach to the same VT it displays on; restarting the display manager fixes it. Make sure that gdm passes something like vt7 to the X server. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
