This strange error message ("could not look up internet address for Foo")
occurs just for so at startup, which means that /etc/hosts is correct and that
things worked at earlier time.

I know this problem from a previous gnome installation and have it now with
Xfce. The first time I was able to solve the issue by exchanging the util-linux
login with the shadow-passwords login. However, I never understood this issue
because the network is accessible, the desktop works and internet works too.
This time the problem occurred 'suddenly' after an xorg update. A re-install of
Xfce didn't help. Can you please tell me what the matter is (what the session
manager asks the xorg server and why this may fail?)

My network is routed via a DSL-Router. The ifconfig is as follows:
