    From gnome-session@1:229/2 to All on Tue Aug 17 01:10:10 2004

    Package: gnome-session
    Version: 2.6.2-5
    Severity: important

    # `startx` --> `startx` as root was successful! but I was disappointed,
    because `startx` as normal user was not successful!

    the symptom I found was:
    if start X (with startx script or display-manager), just the X-only
    start! ;-( except that nothing float on root window.

    `startx` with ~/.xinitrc (openbox or pwm or other WM-series) worked
    well. but "gnome-session"(GNOME v2.6) do nothing. also gnome-related
    conf files were not created. So I `touch`-ed .gnomerc to mimic /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session-gnomerc & startx again.
    but the result is same. ;-/

    Does what happened on my lovely_gnome2.6?
    this is not kinds of locale problem. with LANG=C environment, everything
    is the ssssammeeeeee!!!!!

    What is the exact symtom? Is X started but hangs? If so, maybe you are
    missing a loopback interface (ifconfig to list them).

    Another possibility may be a full partition.
