Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 dev and have upgraded libglib2.0-0 to version 2.31.2-0ubuntu1. After a reboot of the system lxdm-binary was using constantly 100% cpu time of one core. If gksu is started from PCmanFM it isn't even showing every time. Downgrading libglib2.0-0 to version 2.30.0-0ubuntu4 fixes both problems.

thank you for your bug report, the gksu issue was a libgksu issue which got fixed today:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgksu/2.0.13~pre1-5ubuntu2

without extra details it's likely that the lxdm issue is due to that software, reassigning there but feel free to reassign back to glib if it's really a bug in glib and not something weird lxdm is doing

affects: glib2.0 (Ubuntu) → lxdm (Ubuntu)

The gksu issue was not fixed for me with this version. It seems this is a problem which is related to libglib2.0-0 too.

I found a Quick Fix!!!

First and foremost, add this alias to your list of aliases:

alias reset-lxdm='sudo killall lxdm-binary && sleep 5 && sudo lxdm-binary &'

Second, on a cold-boot, login as normal, but this time, press Ctrl-Alt-F1 and login. Type the reset-lxdm command.

And third, re-login as normal.

On repeated reboots, repeat steps 2 and 3.

I am not sure how to do a automated-timed killall of lxdm-binary at bootup.

I don't understand how they could release something like this as a finished product. Seriously...
