Description of problem:
After firstboot configuration and creation of a user, I tried logging
in but my desktop refused to come up.  I was pleasantly surprised that
this problematic situation was detected and that I was offered a
chance to have a look inside the .xsession-errors. The problem itself
was rather simple: since I had kept my old Mandrake /home partition
and the same username, the user and group ownership information was
incorrect.  

I feel this could have been detected by the firstboot program and the
permissions correctly changed.  To solve this, I instead had to switch
to the console and chown my home directory.
