Strange that this happens after an upgrade. What initalization
mechanism do you use for your X session? Do you use the "chained"
approach, i. e., ~/.xsession containing

        #!/bin/csh
        source ~/.cshrc
        exec ~/.xinitrc

and all your session startup stuff in ~/xinitrc? (I'm using this
approach for many years with XDM successfully.)



Disabling XDM and starting X manually works.

In this case, ~/.xinitrc will be processed. XDM does use ~/.xsession
instead (same content can be used). This seems to indicate that
the upgrade did not affect the programs called.







I've done like this
lrwxr-xr-x   1 user  user     9 31 Dec 17:53 .xinitrc@ -> .xsession


These are the contents of .xsession

#
LANG=sv_SE.ISO8859-1; export LANG
/usr/local/bin/startxfce4
