While the system is in this state, "ps" does show a compiz process.

The login screen works, but after logging in, I get just the backdrop image and a mouse pointer. Nothing else. The pointer responds to mouse movements, and I can switch to a text console using ctrl-alt-F<n>, which is how I installed KDE in order to file this bug. But I can no longer open a terminal with ctrl-alt-T, or switch workspaces with ctrl-alt-<arrow>. My .xsession-errors after logging in showed: X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) Major opcode of failed request: 155 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString) Serial number of failed request: 22 Current serial number in output stream: 22 openConnection: connect: No such file or directory cannot connect to brltty at :0 Script for ibus started at run_im.

But now, when I log in and immediately switch to a graphical console to run "top," it doesn't show much going on. External filesystem volumes are not auto-mounted under /media the way they usually are.
