I wish I could elaborate on why, but I am not familiar enough with these lower level workings. Could be that I am still using Etch. For method 1: It booted normally and prompted me to login at the graphical interface as usual. I logged in on the account chosen for the example and several of the gnome panel applets crashed. For method 2: It booted normally and prompted me to login at the graphical interface as usual. I logged in on the account chosen for the example and the GUI hung and I had to undo the changes in the console. Sorry, but neither of these methods work on my Debian machine.
