I just managed to restore X-Win functionality by renaming ~/.startxwinrc and running the following commands, which I have now installed in permanent postinstall scripts, to ensure that mime type and icon caches are updated: $ head /etc/postinstall/zp_[ac]*.dash ==> /etc/postinstall/zp_all-icon-themes.dash <== #!/bin/dash # zp_all-icon-themes.dash - rebuild all icon theme caches where index exists if [ -x /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache ] then for index in /usr/share/icons/*/index.theme \ /usr/*/sys-root/*/share/icons/*/index.theme do dir=${index%/*} /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --force $dir || : ==> /etc/postinstall/zp_cache-shared-mime-info.dash <== #!/bin/dash # zp_cache-shared-mime-info.dash - rebuild shared mime info caches [ -x /usr/bin/update-mime-database ] && [ -d /usr/share/mime ] && \ /usr/bin/update-mime-database /usr/share/mime || : You might also want to force rebuild the font cache by running: $ /etc/postinstall/zp_fontconfig_cache_1.sh -- Take care.
