A bug?

I don't see what could have changed. The change of some config files
under /etc/X11 was due to the upgrade of "menu", but I don't see this
could affect gdm3.

It seems that something occurred with the machine yesterday at around
15:00 (this is where fvwm appears for the first time), while I wasn't
using the machine. According to syslog information, someone attempted
to log under my username (only normal user of the machine), but
*didn't succeed*. So, this doesn't explain why gdm3 no longer starts
my .xsession script.
