I seem to have run into this problem recently. I'm not sure the problem I'm running into is being caused by gdm. This problem I'm running into seems to be a xserver-xorg bug. This is debian-etch running xorg 7.1. Every time a non-root user logins using GDM, the session lasts around 10 seconds and then the xserver crashes with the following backtrace.
1: [0xffffe420] 2: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so [0xa7c9cf6a] 3: /usr/bin/X(Dispatch+0x19b) [0x8086cab] 4: /usr/bin/X(main+0x489) [0x806e699] 5: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xc8) [0xa7dc9ea8] 6: /usr/bin/X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0xa9) [0x806d9d1] Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting Please let me know if this bug needs to be filed as a xserver-xorg bug and I'll do the needful. If any log files are required, please do ask.
