Don't pass -keepPriv to X server (would be in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers) > i have just upgraded to a snapshot, and since then it's happening. How old was your previous one ?

The behaviour you describe is a known issue with privsep disabled. I don't know if something went wrong with the snapshot builds recently or if you changed something that you forgot to tell me in you install, but on all machines I checked privsep is still active by default. Try a later snapshot, or a fresh install on a new disk. -- Matthieu Herrb
