Confirmed!: there must not be any other jobs running at the time nodm
starts, else nodm usually cannot set itself up in the precious five
seconds the authors have allotted, unless one has expensive Italian
hardware.

In /etc/rc.local I now do
( sleep 66; batch <<EOF
apt-show-versions|egrep '\*|newer than version in archive'
EOF
)&
to make sure it starts long after nodm has successfully launched.
And lo and behold, I can now start nodm from rc.local on all my computers!
So all along it was that author in his Ferrari responsible for those
RACE conditions.
