Do you have anything in ~/.xsession-errors?
Good one!
Yes, there were a slew of errors mostly, I think, from KDE
trying to spawn whatever initialization stuff it stashes in
/tmp. After I quit KDE and tried Gnome, there were/are both
WARNING's anf CRITICAL level errors.
errors file read in below. (abbrvt'd :)

Part of the errs like the XErr: BadWindow lines started showing
up weeks ago when I ssh around. My best guess is an ssh config
error. But why would Gnome care about this? What if my FBSD
computer were standalone?
The glib failures are head-scratches too... .
HTH!
