This time it was pid 2859 and file descriptor 4, which pointed to pipe[20775] .

Both ends of the pipe appear to be in the same process.
While gdm was hanging, I did a startx -- 4 from virtual terminal 4.
It seemed to work, but crapped out while I was composing an e-mail.

Don't know what that means.
'Tis something I've looked for before without learning anything.
