So, I'm testing current trunk build.

It works way better than expected here! Without NVDI I get corrupted
icons (Thing), but it does at least start up.

With NVDI it works! :) I'm trying hard to reproduce a crash with the
fileselector I got about half an hour ago, but still nothing ;)
So ok, there is probably no need to panic just yet... Shutdown works
fine too (Ctrl+Alt+Del works,  Halt from the Task Manager works).

Important hint for those who struggle: Make sure you are running
everything out of the /mint/1-17-0 folder, not the /mint/1-17-cur...
Remember, xaloader lives there, so for Great Justice, make sure you
are loading the correct xaaes for your kernel...
