cannot login after logout

[yvan volochine]

it's impossible to login after logout, computer gets stuck on the login screen, no icon, choosing restart or shutdown from menu in the bottom right also does not work (see attached screenshot).
(using latest dev iso from 9 january)

I cannot reproduce this with the latest dev iso 2010-01-11 (evening) on a fresh liveUSB.

Are you able to use ctrl-alt-F2 to get to a terminal and log in that way? If so, attaching the end of gdm and Xorg logs would be useful maybe.

Sorry, I missed the latest dev iso (was not in all mirrors).
I have the same problem with the latest dev iso (both from 2010-01-11): although this time, icons are there, I cannot login after logout.

I'm not a log specialist but here are some (hopefully useful) infos I found via CTL+ALT+F2:

This has been solved in the dev release!

It will be available as a new alpha in the coming day.
