Bug Description
When logging in as "karel" I get a blank X screen, which is perfectly functional as such - from a terminal I can launch "firefox --display :0" and so forth - but user Karel does not get a window manager active. For newly created user "daisy" everything works as expected. Not sure this is a bug, though, the trouble started after some twiddling with adding and removing packages.

Sounds like a broken session for some reason - is this still occurring?
