Gnome-session freeze need to kill X then you can login

[Kjell L.]

Binary package hint: gnome-session

After todays update with some delay applet patch the gnome-session freeze when I have autologin enable. I am using Xmonad on top of gnome.

Killing X and login with password works. Another issue I notice too is if I have autologin enable the mouse pointer will show busy mode if I hover over Xmobar/Gnome-panel indefinitely. With delay autologin the problem does not occur. Therefore I think that there is something conflicting with these delay patches.

After some extra troubleshooting I found out that I needed to kill X. ( SysRq + Alt + K) Then I can login. In another words the first login freeze the system and needs to kill then you can login again.
