By the way, this adds an ugly side effect: the Xorg server goes crazy and starts filling up the "/var/log/*" with hunderds of small "Xorg.nn.log" files ;-( > I suggest that in Debian mirrors, gnome is so arranged that launching it > be an optional.

That sounds a bit drastic measure that can match for specific corner cases but I don't think is good to be set as default: most users expect any GUI based desktop environment is automatically launched as soon as it is installed alongside with a session manager. In the end, advanced users do know how to prevent for a DE to be started and for novices, having a GUI interface initiated by default is like a big lifesaver ;-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
