Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
Steps to reproduce: 1. stop gdm 2. Run "startx" from a VT 3. Once the desktop is up, open a few windows. 4. Switch back to the VT that you ran "startx" on 5. Hit enter 6. Switch back to the VT that X is running on With the nouveau and vesa drivers, what we see is that all windows are now blank and filled with white, and the GNOME menu and shortcut icons in the top panel are missing. Other items in the panel appear to be unaffected and are responsive to input. With the NVIDIA binary driver, all we see is a black screen with a cursor. Not too many will be starting desktop sessions with "startx", let alone switching to the VT they started X from and hitting enter, but this still probably deserves some investigation.
