[Elan Ruusamäe]

gdm-3.0.2-1.x86_64 does not start up properly, shows blue screen and busy mouse (a watch clock)

X11 itself is ok, i can log in with lxdm, just gdm seems to have trouble displaying (running?) greeter...

[Elan Ruusamäe (glen666)]

gnome-session-3.0.2-1.x86_64
gnome-settings-daemon-3.0.2-1.x86_64
GConf2-2.32.3-1.x86_64

11:46:25 kiesiu> glen: gdm requires gnome-session, gnome-settings-daemon, polkit-gnome and a few non-gnome packages (like ConsoleKit, accountsservice)
11:46:54 kiesiu> glen: it has R: to hicolor-icon-theme so no icons are missing
11:48:34 kiesiu> glen: as megabajt already said the only one gtk+3 theme whih exists is Adwaita and it's in gnome-themes-standard package
11:50:38 kiesiu> glen: gnome-session requires gnome-wm which is provided by metacity, mutter and openbox

more precisely, the icon message cames from:

Can you please update gdm to version gdm-3.0.4-1.x86_64?
Can you add Enable=true to the [debug] section of /etc/gdm/custom.conf, reproduce, and then post the 0-greeter.log and 0-slave.log?
