Well, it would if various window managers, X programs, etc. wouldn't<br>
insist on bit-spewing .xsession-errors with so much cruft that the error<br>
messages you really want to see get completely buried.<br>
<br>
I'd hoped that about 20 lines would get back far enough to find the<br>
actuall error. It's important to look at .xsession-errors immediately<br>
following whatever event you're concerned with. You might have to keep<br>
working backwards through .xsession errors until you find lines<br>
complaining about something related to synaptic. Sometimes, it's easier<br>
to just pull the whole file into a text editor, and then search backwards<br>
for the command.<br>

Ok, so we should be thinking of a lovable, cuddly, stuffed penguin<br>
sitting down after having gorged itself on herring. Still with me?<br>
