When I try to log out of debian (testing) it logs me out ok but
rather than putting back up the log in screen i'm left with a blank
pale blue screen with a white box (obviously where the text box would
be). cursor still works etc but no controls. x won't shut down with
ctrl-alt-backspace neither does ctrl-alt-f1 etc...any ideas?! Thanks,

Oh, and also...besides this one problem I love debian! Would just
like to say what a brilliant distribution it is! Thanks to all the
developers and I hope some of my bug reports have helped in one way
or another!


Which display manager are you using (xdm, gdm, kdm, ...)? Do you see
anything relevant in the corresponding log file in /var/log?

If you are unable to solve the problem you can always try switching to
a different display manager.
