Inspect /etc/init.d/functions lines 136 to > 138: I did notice that call to ulimit while grepping for it in /etc, but this is part of the function daemon(), so I would expect this to only have an impact on the particular daemon being started. Although I don't expect it to make any difference (I don't think X is started with a call to daemon()) I will comment that line for now and see if it makes a difference. Bye, Leonard.
