Comment 1 for bug 589441

I have a similar problem but instead, I get the following error:

GLib-WARNING**: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)

getpwuid is the method that gets the username, password and all that jazz (http://linux.die.net/man/3/getpwuid_r) and the error 0 means that the username that was delivered could not be found. I am going to take a look deep into the code to see if the issue is just a missing user account or if the id can be changed to something we already have set. I have a feeling this problem is within X.org itself, because if I do Ctrl-Alt-F7, I can get the GUI back, but nothing works properly anymore.
