Nothing starts.Shouldn't your old background get used?No errors in X's log files. X comes up fine and initializes, but the session does not start.Just to check, is there anything in ~/.xsession-errors? Do you have a ~/.xsession or ~/.Xclients script that starts your session or are you just using the default?Tried removing all .gnome* and .gconf* files from my home directory -- made no difference.You probably already tried, but does a new user account work properly at least?
A new account works.Now, I've figured out that if: after starting X in the old account, I look at the process table, I see a crapload of processes hanging on a connect to /tmp/.esd/socket. If I kill the esd process, the desktop comes out. Panels and a whole of other stuff is still screwed up, but at least the desktop comes up.
In a freshly-created account, the desktop comes up fine.Now, if I take the existing account, rename the home directory, create a blank new home directory in its place, log in, and try to start X, it still hangs in esd!
