I've packaged the aforementioned patch here: http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/Testing/gdm/

The potential downside could be if it lengthens the restart process noticeably. Would someone mind testing this and confirming it addresses the problem? -- gdm spawns a new X server when told to restart the system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/126797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
