I forgot to say that I invoke the vnc server via xinetd. Here is the
process info:
vi...@uranus:/var/log$ ps ax|grep vnc
5693 ?Ss25:24 Xvnc -inetd :1 -query localhost -geometry 1024x768
-depth 16 -once -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc -DisconnectClients=0 -NeverShared
-extension XFIXES
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
Problem occurs on headless server (no screen, no keyboard) which I have

after the upgrade. It may be related to 433928 and 578013.
