It seems a backporting conflict in update/upgrade (with apt-get) has been the problem.
After various daily upgradings, the things are fine again.
Why, ...? I don't know !
Had to do with Xorg and the sh command.
B4, to get out of the desktop back to tdm, i had to perform, as root from the console or from another ctrl+alt+Fx bash : killall Xorg or, better, killall sh .
That made me fall back to the tdm desktop manager.
But it was still with difficulties to shutdown the PC, which i achieved the hard way.
BRgds to all.

There are a couple of things I can think of to test things out.
- Create a new user see if anything changes.
- Grab another HD, install and createa new user. If you see some
improvement, copy the old user dir over and recreate the old users.
Maybe it's a corrupted user dir or a bad HD?
Only other thing I could thing of would be a bad/missing udev rule.
