<div>I'll spare you the details other than to say after much
hacking about with apt-* and dpkg I've managed to make it
boot, and can even get into a window manager by setting the
defaults to kdm and kde. The problem is that I don't like
KDE, and would much rather use some gnome based desktop, but
they all wedge on login. I can't find anything useful in
/var/log/Xorg.log or /var/log/syslog. </div>

<div>I've tried removing (well, moving to a different directory)
~/.gnome* and ~/.gtk*, but that didn't help.</div>
