That didn't turn out to be the answer either. Eventually things broke,
though not as hard as with gnome. At least one of my file systems got
set read only.
My theory now is that using desktop graphics is triggering a kernel

to work. This may not work too well with later video drivers with the
KMS changes, but seems worth trying out.
