I finally tracked down why I couldn't start Gnome from GDM, but I could
from startx. bash_completion was being initialized twice
by /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession. Once as ". /etc/profile" and again as ".
$HOME/.profile" which was doing a ". /etc/profile" also.
I placed an "echo" command before and after the .profile is referenced.
The first one is hit, but not the second.
This problem didn't hit me until I installed the modular X, so who do I
file the bug report against?
