Thanks for the suggestions. However, her entry in passwd looks fine:
michelle:x:1001:1001:Michelle Bruus,,,:/home/michelle:/bin/bash
/home/michelle looks fine:
drwx------ 28 michelle michelle 1432 2006-05-01 13:42 michelle
and so does .Xauthority (except that it's empty):
-rw------- 1 michelle michelle 0 2006-05-01 13:42 .Xauthority
So from what you're saying, it would seem that gdm get's it wrong
somewhere along the way and doesn't write a proper .Xauthority? I guess
that's out of the scope for this list, but more suggestions are,
naturally, still welcome!
Best regards,
Sune
