           Summary: [Dapper] editing setup causes gdm to crash
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdm
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: templin at gnuwhv.de
         QAContact: desktop-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


After editing gdm via gdmsetup, eg. changing theme or color, during the next
start gdm crashes.

The only thing I could figure out yet is a message in daemon.log
/var/log/daemon.log:

[... snip ...]
Jan 10 09:36:38 localhost gdm[20375]: Der Anzeige-Server wurde in den letzten 90
Sekunden ca. 6 Mal heruntergefahren. Vermutlich läuft irgendetwas schief. Vor
dem nächsten Anmeldeversuch auf Anzeige :0 wird eine Pause von 2 Minuten eingelegt.


remark:
My first idea was that this may be caused due to incompatible themes. 
But today I saw that this also happens when doing any changes at all.
