Hi Ralf.

There was nothing in ~/.xsessions-errors that pertained to the problem.
I have however managed to track down the culprit:
/etc/needstart/needstart.conf, which is a Perl script, was complaining
about not being able to find local::lib. I've since fixed it.

Also many thanks to Colin for his help in trying to log the GUI updater
app. Will come in handy further on down the road I'll venture.

Cheers,

  Phil.
