When I say that you'll "probably want to keep your replies on-list", I 
mean you'll want to respond to debian-user@lists.debian.org, not to me.

One of the reasons is that the people there may have answers which I do 
not. For example, I have no idea why "startx" would cause the system to 
reboot; it shouldn't. I know enough to look around in the log files 
/var/log/, probably the X.org log, but some one else on the list may 
know exactly how to address this issue.
