Rebuilds finished... still: startlxde has no effect whatever startx causes a full on crash Just a point of interest and possible diagnostic data. The lists below show a group of x11 pkgs that are uniq on a previous gentoo install that is successfully running lxde. That is, the listed pkgs are on the successful host but not on the problem host.

Again does not appear to be a possible cause of my problem uniq on successful lxde running host gv x11-apps/bdftopcf x11-apps/luit x11-apps/xcursorgen x11-apps/xkill x11-apps/xlsfonts x11-apps/xmessage x11-apps/xmodmap x11-apps/xpr x11-apps/xsetroot x11-apps/xwd x11-libs/libXScrnSaver x11-libs/libXaw3d x11-libs/pangox-compat x11-misc/xbindkeys x11-terms/xterm x11-themes/sound-theme-freedesktop Uniq on problem host g0 x11-apps/xrefresh
