Bug Description

LightDM can crash on shutdown due to trying to emit D-Bus removed signals for the seats/sessions. This is due to iterating over the seats/sessions to remove them and iterating over them as they are removed to generate the list of current seats.

This seems to crash on a recent GLib (2.43?).

Changed in lightdm:
status: New → Fix Committed
milestone: none → 1.13.1
importance: Undecided → Medium

This occurs on trunk and 1.12. 1.10 and 1.2 do not have the crash but do emit signals so have been modified to not do this just in case.

This should be marked 'critical', not 'medium'.
It will come up *anytime* when Vivid is started up, and this is extremely annoying. The 1.13.1 release ought to be available ASAP.

UPDATE

Seems someone has read my plead...My recent (even though not final) upgrade attempts appear to have fixed this madness - no longer those cascades of "System Error Detected" dialog boxes at bootup.
Or it's because of the 3.18 kernel which I'm currently using.
