[Bug 34859] Re: gdm does not restart after Ctrl+Alt+Backspace

[Marius Gedminas]

This just happened again: gdm exitted but did not restart after I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.

There was nothing in /var/log/messages and syslog (except for a translated message saying that gconfd exitted because it wasn't used).

Two gdm processes were still running (parent and child).  I tried strace on both, briefly -- the child was trying to read from a pipe (fd 7), while the parent was blocked in poll().

/etc/init.d/gdm restart fixed things.
