I've managed to solve all 3 or actually 2 , as it turned out (smile). |

3.1.1 did compile, but when I ran 'sensors-detect' it couldn't find any |
| 12 |
& advised "common on laptops, where it's handled by ACPI". |
| 13 |
So I had another look at Gkrellm & when I clicked the little triangle, |
| 14 |
it did in fact show a temperatures sensor 'thermalzone/TZ00', |
| 15 |
which is shown in the display after it has been enabled: '51 C'. |
| 16 |
So no need for Lm-sensors or Xmbmon: unmerged & the temperature still shows. |

Indeed, that is not the real problem, even tho' tagged 'FATAL'. |
| 25 |
I found Gentoo bug 275659, which says "Xfdesktop needs access |
| 26 |
to Hal's pluggable devices, ie in /etc/group 'plugdev ... <user>'". |
| 27 |
When I fixed that, it still choked, but now showed a sensible msg: |
| 28 |
"xfce4-session: can't open ~/.ICEauthority : permission denied". |
| 29 |
Yes, it was owned by root ! -- 'chown' fixed it & Xfce started normally. |
| 30 |
It remains possible that ~/.ICEauthority wb wrongly owned at next boot, |
| 31 |
but at least I can get Xfce started & look into the cause if it happens. |

|

After fixing Xfce, Dillo also started normally, |
| 37 |
so it looks as if it was the same problem. |
