Comment 3 for bug 506098

Sorry, I missed the latest dev iso (was not in all mirrors).
I have the same problem with the latest dev iso (both from 2010-01-11): although this time, icons are there, I cannot login after logout.

I'm not a log specialist but here are some (hopefully useful) infos I found via CTL+ALT+F2:
