That should give a clue for the knowledgeable guys of what's causing this
(if they don't know already).

>  I remember when that first happened to me it was a large update because I
was waiting for the perl stuff to settle so it was mostly the perl things
(minus a couple that were still broken) plus the xserver update (from a
layman view the latter must be the one that's incompatible with the display
manager's/session manager's setups).
Maybe in sid the glibc upgrades came afterwards, but I can't recall with
certainty.
