Oops, shot myself :( session ends after <10s

[Siggy Brentrup]

Hi List,

to make things short, I shot myself in the foot when rsyncing my home
directory to a nfs server, purging it's contents and then nfs mounting
the backup copy all from the zsh CLI in a gnome-terminal - things I've
done successfully in the past but not when gnome was running.  

<cynic>Seems like found the reason why it's called gnome.</cynic>

Not suprisingly during the purge my Desktop disappeared but after logging
out and in again: the Desktop is back (expected) an error box popped up
telling me the session lasted <10s and allowing to inspect ~/.xsession-errors.

on an aside: the error box should be resizeable, it's not funny to inspect
             error messages in so small a text widget.

I'm attaching ,xsession-errors, maybe somebody among you sees a simple solution,
delving deep into gnome lasts too long for my full agenda.  If I only could log
into gdm as root I'd try to recreate my account from scratch this time moving
hidden .gnome* and .dbus* directories from a console login while gdm is
stopped.

desktop-less-ly yours
  Siggy

my resumee: change CLI habits when in a gnome-terminal window.
