This continues to occur after a full upgrade now.
I must say that yesterday X crashed during an update, and I had to run dkpg --configure -a manually
to restore the update. I don't know if some package may have been corrupted by this. I tried
reinstalling all apport packages, but the error persists. Which other package can cause this
problem?
