Dear Andreas,

yes the screen does indeed turn off for a while while GDM is loading
when I dont't exit plymouth.

Maybe should I purge GDM3 and try over again? I have no clue why GDM
does only works so sluggish for me.

As noted in my last mail, with XDM, KDM and lightdm I can't even start
my xinitrc session, since they refuse to exec enlightenment_start.

I really have no clue where this all comes from, this is why I am asking
on the bugreport list. :-)

To note, my installation is a Debian 5 installation, upgraded to
Debian/testing and running on so far.

I already reported other sometimes strange bugs happening for me, for
example gkrellm seqfaulting when I type an umlaut; I use xmodmap by the
way.

Maybe you have an idea how to make GDM run smoothly again.

Thank you very much,

Adrian
