[Bug 59832] gdm crash when closing a window

[smurf]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

Hi to all.
I have ubuntu dapper running on AMD athlon 64 2800, kernel is 2.6.15-26-amd64-k8.
Quite often my gdm crash when I press the x button in upper right corner of a window. The desktop freeze but other tools (ie music player) continue to work.
I found in /var/log/gdm some log files named :o.log.x and one or two of these gets huge size:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root      928 2006-09-10 22:22 :0.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28765374 2006-09-10 22:21 :0.log.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root     1159 2006-09-10 12:18 :0.log.4

the content of the biggest one (:0.log.1 in this case) is only the
follow line:

Freeing resource id=40A017E6 which isn't there.

As well I found another log always with the same time in system log,
like this:

Sep 10 22:22:29 localhost gconfd (luca-4430): The address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" has been changed to a read only  configuration source in position0
Sep 10 22:22:29 localhost gconfd (luca-4430): The address  "xml:readwrite:/home/luca/.gconf" has been changed to a writable configuration source in position 1
Sep 10 22:22:29 localhost gconfd (luca-4430): The address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" has been changed to a read only configuration source in position 2
Sep 10 22:22:29 localhost gconfd (luca-4430): The address  "xml:readonly:/var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults" has been changed to a read only configuration source in position 3
Sep 10 22:22:29 localhost gconfd (luca-4430): The address  "xml:readonly:/var/lib/gconf/defaults"  has been changed to a read only configuration source in position 4

(I translated this from italian, so maybe instead of "changed" it should
sound better "resolved" but I'm unsure... sorry for that)

But I don't know if there is any relationship between the two events.

I hope to find a solution for this because it make the system very
unstable.

Thanks a lot.
