Sorry, I sent an incomplete mail by mistake. As I said, I can
reconstruct the behavior anytime, but I forgot to give some additional
information: The error only occurs when using GDM for login. If I call
startxfce4 from a VT, everything works. So maybe GDM is to blame.
Here's the output from ls -l:
