Package: gdm Version: 2.16.1-1 Severity: important I ran the configuration gui from the gdm menu after upgrading to 2.16.1-1. Gdm asked for my root password, which I typed in. The configuration gui was briefly displayed, but then gdm crashed and was restarted.
My gdm.conf includes the daemon, security, xdmcp, gui, greeter, chooser, debug and servers sections, but all are empty except greeter which has this line: SoundOnLoginFile=/usr/share/sounds/startup3.wav I'm setting this to important because I think this does have a "major effect on the usability" of this package, "without rendering it completely unusable to everyone".
