Package: gdm Version: 2.16.4-1 Followup-For: Bug #405760 I installed GDM and Gnome &c. and switched from XDM to GDM by running 'dpkg-reconfigure gdm' and setting GDM as default manager. After crashing for a long time, GDM only showed squares. Earlier I had tried Gnome with the same effect, so I just switched back to XDM. Seems I am stuck with Fvwm :-(
