    I don't think that the .xsession can be involved, here..... The oops
    happens BEFORE user login, and firefox definately isn't loaded before
    logging in. ;-)

    Anyhow, I forgot to mention that I am using the debian/testing sarge apt
    repository ... Once again, I have a purely default configuration, with
    the exception of the kernel. When I get home, I'll grep through my
    startup scripts... I'll let you guys know what I find.

    Cheers,

    Mike
