#248126 — DM crashes in Sid

Ihave Mate, Gnome Flashback, and XFCE installed.  Today, when starting 
up, all three will start, then exit with extreme prejudice.  Mate was 
doing that before, so, being lazy, I switched to XFCE, and didn't try to 
diagnose and solve and fix. But now all are doing it.  Also, the virtual 
terminals (Alt-Ctrl-F2, etc.) are behaving a bit weirdly, and will not 
show a bash prompt.

Oddly, when I rebooted and started in rescue mode, when I changed to 
user mode via SU, as in su george, I expected that typing startx, I 
might get some error messages.  But X works, and LightDM works, and when 
I logged into Mate, Mate continued to work, when it hadn't been working 
for months.

What do I need to do to discover the problem?  Running Sid.  I recall a 
similar problem for someone else, a segfault-or-other, I think, that I 
seem to recall involved deleting a config file.  If someone that recalls 
that could post a link, it'd be great, or could coach me how to diagnose 
and fix, or at least tell me what to Google for...

Thanks

Mark Allums
