[CLUE-Tech] login problems

[Keith Hellman]

I had a problem similiar to this on SuSE.  Somehow I mucked up the permissions for some critical
tmp locations and applications.  Do you have a .xerrors in your HOME?  I did a search on Google
for the last couple error messages in mine & solved the problem pronto.  Sorry I can't be more
help, it was many LOCs ago...
