So THIS is the culprit, an apache upload that matches the day when we began to
experience this:
* debian/apache2.2-common.apache2.init: Add stty sane so that users will get a
password prompt when using apache-ssl. (LP: #582963)
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: gdm
When I boot an up to date maverick laptop, I am presented with the gdm
screen. If I press enter or click on a user, gdm restarts. After it
restarts I am able to login normally. This happens every time.
X is starting on the correct tty (tty7), and getty does not seem to be
involved.
After X has quit, some text of the form:
“^]88888888888888;◆◆◆◆◆^]8888;◆◆◆◆◆^\◆” is seen on tty7.
X is getting sent SIGQUIT when the user presses <enter>.
+ ****************** PLEASE TRY THIS WORKAROUND ************************
+
+ open up /etc/init.d/apache2 in a text editor with root powers:
+ gksu gedit /etc/init.d/apache2
+
+ Then comment out the call to stty sane like this:
+
+ #stty sane
+
+ Save and reboot.
