Thanks for all the advice people, as yet to implement
any of the specific fixes, still trying to get a hold
on what exactly's wrong.  The command 

startx &> x.log

gives the output:



Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
	If this server is no longer running, remove
/tmp/.X0-lock
	and start again.


When reporting a problem related to a server crash,
please send
the full server output, not just the last messages


Can anyone shed any light on the meaning of this?
Cheers 
Pad.
