Hello. Shot:
> shot's `startx` ends up in that "immediate session exit", while > `XFree86...` gives the same "Cannot move old logfile" error. Sigh. So I've finally learned about the ~/.xsession-errors file, and, sure enough, at the end of it was the line ** (gnome-session:13910): WARNING **: Unable to read ICE authority file: /home/shot/.ICEauthority After chmodding ~/.ICEauthority from root:root to shot:shot everythings works again. Sorry for taking your time and filing an "important" bug against the wrong package; all I can say in my defense is that ~/.ICEauthority must've somehow chagned to root:root around the same time I upgraded X to 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6. Thanks again for your time and please close this bug.
