I can still reproduce this problem on 11.0 final, even after I did all checking as detailed in the referenced bug 387168.

Start up box was visible for a long time, after start there was no window manager running. The move of some .gnome settings directories did not help. It was necessary to delete the directory with the settings of the used window-theme. Holger Hetterich fixed this for me.

No idea, the failsafe session comes from X i think. Perhaps drivers or something are shutoff?

No, it's only a failsafe session (xterm only as desktop). No drivers are exchanged here. You're mixing it up with the failsafe boot entry, which uses X11 configuration from installation (usually fbdev). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In 1) those messages are harmless

Ok. Nevertheless I'd count them as (minor) bugs.

for 3) were you running compiz in the past?

Probably. I did not configure it actively nor did I make use of a compiz feature. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Note its linked to your home directory - you have probably a test Gilouche theme stored there that is quite old. The system one doesn't have this error.

You would not have acquired it that way. We have tested themes this way before though, so I suspect something like that happened. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
