ssh connection refused (sshd is running) - either misconfigured or not starting
correctly; if jack has an empty password, the sshd configuration
denies logins with empty passords. But I can get a terminal after
the Caja processes seemingly all died, the desktop still black,
no border decoration, the terminal constantly moving to the lower
right...after patient double typing  get these .xsession-errors:
-----------
mate-settings-daemon MateDesktop-Warning: Call to screen_info_new
is too frequent, skipping...
caps.c Normally all extra capabilities would be dropped down, but
that's impossible because PulseAudio was built without capabilities
support.
/usr/bin/dispswitch exiting: too few crtcs: 1
pygobject_register_sinkfunc is  deprecated (GtkWindow,GtkInvisible,Gtkobject)
mate-panel: couldn't get background pixmap
Connection failure: Connection refused
Initializing gksu extension
The program caja received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib
lenght error (Details: serial 262 error_code 16 request_code 72
minor_code 0)
---------------
This goes on for a while, then the caja clients are killed:
--------------
Maximum number of clients reached
caja: MateDesktop-Warning: Unable to open display :0 when setting
background pixmap
caja: Gdk-critical: IA__gdk_cairo_create asserttion 'GDK_IS_DRAWABLE
(drawable) failed.
recvmsg: Connection refused
--------------------
a couple of those messages, then
---------------------
process 3535 (one PID beyond the caja PID): arguments to dbus_message_unref()
were incorrect, assertion "!message->in_cache" failed in file
/jenkins/jobs/oi_userland/workspace/components/library/dbus/dbus-1.10.8/dbus/dbus-message.c 
line 1719.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D_Bus Llibrary.
D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace.
-------------------------
and more of the caja background pixmap and cairo IA__... messages.
Then a heap of Xlib messages related to the caja breakdown:
---------------------------
Bug in window manager: Unexpected X error: BadLength (poly request too
large or internal Xlib
lenght error (Details: serial 815 error_code 16 request_code 72
minor_code 0)
--------------
the same messages repeating endlessly with other serials like
832 and 835. The terminal flickers endlessly while bumping into
the lower right corner like a dumb zombie and is nearly unusable.

Hope that helps.
