Hi,
thank you for your attention and your precious suggestions.
I will try to downgrade libxklavier10 (even if I don't know how I can do that!).
I just wanted to add a further information: I created a new normal
user and did "startx". This time Gnome started.
So: where's the problem? It seems due to the first normal user. I
can't understand why. Maybe it's better if I delete the first normal
user and I create a new one.
I don't know.
Thank you all,
