Hi,
I have a very strange phenomenon.
I connect to my box with telnet, change to super user (root) and run
'startx'.
Then, if I don't run anything else from my telnet window (the same
window I run the 'startx' from) everything goes fine.

Are you running:

startx &

or suspending it and running bg, in order to run these other commands?
