[Bug 54650] Re: [Edgy] System freezes when loading gdm

[Matt Zimmerman]

On a hunch, I rebuilt xorg-server and xserver-xorg-video-ati with -fno-
stack-protector, and I am completely unable to reproduce the problem
with those binaries.  I restarted gdm 5 times from single-user mode and
also rebooted the system 5 times.  Given that the problem was extremely
repeatable before, this is fairly compelling.

It's possible that this could explain my mysterious bug #54726 as well
(different machine), though that one is not repeatable so it's difficult
to tell.
