[Bug 70618] Unable to login after session crash

[Vincenzo Ciancia]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-session

Sometimes it happens that my session crashes, and I cannot log in again
unless I log in using a virtual console and kill all the stuck gnome
programs. In my opinion, these programs should die with the X session
because you can't take control of them again. The responsible process
seems to be gconfd, but I am not sure, however it's not that much user
friendly:  a newbie will only be able to reboot his machine.

This is an issue that has affected gnome2 since its beginning, and that
always gave me that "gnome is broken" feeling that is now more and more
a thing of the past.

** Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu)
