I did test-run Gnome again (by activating "gnome-session" and 
commenting-out the startkde in my .xinitrc). And - got the same effect I 
get with KDE. It does run a while longer than KDE until it bombs out but 
it will. During my initial "Tests" I just "activated" Gnome, startx, 
started firefox/thunderbird, did a few things and then exited from gnome...

So, as you suspected, there must be something else wrong on my System.

I nevertheless will attach the Xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log; maybe you see 
something (however, I didn't change the Xorg.conf after the recent 
Update and the System did work fine before) that's wrong.

Thanks! I probably should check if gnome produces the same messages?

Will now start to check which ports got updated during my recent update 
(me Idiot did clean the portmaster-backup-packages; so will have to use 
portdowngrade and see if I find the culprit...

Sorry for the noise; will now check (might well take until this weekend) 
if I can solve it. Will post success/failure here, just in case...

Cheers,
