Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
Since 2.20.0-0ubuntu4 was released a couple of days ago, I cannot get any login anymore. Instead, GDM reports something like "The login application appears to have died. Trying to launch a second time." Try it does and it repeatedly fails.
I would try manually launching X from CLI until a fix is released, except that someone broke the framebuffer consoles, once again, just 4 days away from Gutsy release, so I cannot use my Gutsy laptop at all, right now.

Going in via SSH and changing gdm.conf by hand to use gdmlogin, instead of gdmgreeter, makes GDM usable again, although obviously with the wrong type of login module. I'm wondering whether 2.20.0-0ubuntu4 broke something in GDM or whether it's actually caused by last-minute changes in the Gutsy GDM theme?
