Wonderful!, thanks.

I fear I can't really make an informed judgment on this. I've debugged a
bit the gdm3 issue because it hit me, but I'm not much of a "desktop
person" myself (in fact I didn't realize the xauth stuff had been moved,
before debugging this ...).  I guess that better targets recipients for
this question can be one or more of the lists: -gtk-gnome, -kde,
-desktop.

Ditto.

Many thanks for schroot!
Cheers.
