I'm not sure I do need to start there. I think this is just a timing
issue where the frontend comes up before the backend is ready. The
frontend does connect, just not straight away. I think first I need to
get the display to work and I've just thought I never checked the
~/.xsession-errors log so I'm going to look there now.
