Hi,
When I boot all seems to go well at first. But after the log-in
screen a message pops up: "Oh no! Something has gone wrong" etc. I
am advised to log out and back in again, but the problem occurs
every time. The weird thing is that when I hit the windows-key the
ususal X-screensaver appears. But when I try to launch an
application I get an black screen with the error message again.
When I boot in rescue mode and try to start X it fails.

Peter: did the error message look like

If so, it’s a Gnome error message, not X, and the chances are that X
itself is fine.
Try creating a brand new user and logging in under that ID.
Are you fully up-to-date?
Hope this helps,
James.
