22 Rebuilds finished... still:
23 startlxde has no effect whatever
24
25 startx causes a full on crash
26
27 Just a point of interest and possible diagnostic data.
28
29 The lists below show a group of x11 pkgs that are uniq on a previous

33 I did not think any of them looked like possible causes of my problem.
34
35 The second list (of one) below shows a pkg on the problem host that is
36 not on the succesfull host. Again does not appear to be a possible
37 cause of my problem
