[Bug 257716] Re: Firefox is started but does not show itself

[ledenjes]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
  
  I have started Firefox 11 times (!) but still it does not show itself
  (this I can see in the list of running programmes). Somehow the gui
  refuses to work.
+ 
+ I believe I found the reason why this is happening and the method to
+ manually resolve the problem:
+ 
+ Somehow, the process "gdm" is starting TWICE at boot. Once I killed one
+ of both processes, Ubuntu automatically logged me out and forced me into
+ the non-gui environment (other than gnome-terminal). I could login but
+ not return to the gui environment of Ubuntu. When I tried "gdm", Ubuntu
+ told me "gdm" was already started and could therefore not be started.
+ 
+ So then, I killed the remaining "gdm" process and typed "gdm" to get
+ back to the gui mode. This time it worked. I got back into the gui
+ environment. Furthermore, all programmes which were non-responsive
+ before, now were responding properly, again.
