Still happens in breezy.

after a power outage my system clock was reset to jan 1904 (this is where mac
clocks go back to when reset or when the pram battery runs out(when a machine is
about 5 years old))

the system makes it to the log in screen, then i did user name and pass word,
enter, and it hung on a brown screen

killall gnome-session on crtl-alt-f1 kills the session and gets you back to gdm

gnome failsafe does not load either

xfce and openbox load ok. from them one can start most gnome apps, except
nautilus and gnome-panel. these give no hint that the date is the problem

just a warning somewhere would be enough to help people, other wise it is very
hard to notice the date is wrong.

is this just a powerpc bug? do other machines ever get their clocks reset?
