I have a problem familiar with bug #136529, where my Gnome-Desktop
doesn't start from GDM. Is this fix also available for Gutsy Gibbon?
I have Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon x86 installed. The radeon-driver for my
graphics card (ATI Radeon X800) and the 3d desktop running. Before the
bug appeared I had an update (quite big - approximately 30 MB of
download-size). Unfortunately I didn't restart after that and I
continued to install new software from the repositories (Tex Live, Lyx,
the latex-plugin for gedit). On the next day as I entered username,
password and finally return into the GDM login window, Gnome didn't
start at all. Instead the following message in .xsession-errors comes
up:
(process:5691): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or
setgid.
This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper
program instead. For further details, see:

I tried the offered solutions from #136529 the best I could. But it
didn't work (altering privileges to /tmp, remove gdm from boot, creating
an alternate user, deleting .gnome2-directory from my home-folder,
starting X from terminal). I suceeded in starting Gnome from recovery-
mode with root-privileges via startx. But not with my ordinary user
account.
I am very grateful for your help in advance.
Kind regards
Frank
