And now it's starting to get really weird. If I restart the X server,
then change to a console (ctrl-alt-f2) and log in and back out again
before logging into X everything's fine... How is that possible..?
(I've repoduced this 4 times just to be sure. Restarting X and logging
back in results in the error message. If I log in and back out from a
console first everything's fine...)
