Betreff: Re: [DNG] window manager fails to connect to XServer
Sorry to interject here, with something that is probably not relevant,
but there's always that possibility that it is.  I've recently (after
kernel upgrades) had issues with starting x with nvidia drivers, if
that's what you use this might help.  My issue was there was no
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so - that file was only in
/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ (notice the "local").  Creating a
softlink to the existing file in the /usr/lib/... directory was my
solution.  But I found the warning/error in one of the log files and was
able to track it down; not seeing that message in your logs, so again
it's probably not related.

If the problem is something to do with file ownership after your
backup/restore process, you could run the following:
find $HOME ! -user $USER
It should return nothing, if every file in your home directory is owned
by you.
