Package: gdm Version: 2.13.0.10-2 Severity: important This is a strange one. With my current user, logging in using the Gnome session type (and the Gnome Fail Safe session as well) exits immediately (right after entering the password). I created a new user account and it works alright. I deleted the usual suspects (.gnome2, .gconf, a few more) and I still saw the failure. If you can suggest a way to debug this I'd be very happen to provide more information. /var/log/gdm was not very helpful, and neither was .xsession-errors file.
