[Test case] In a precise machine with kerberos authentication, adding a new user via "sudo adduser test" will cause an X session running under GDM to crash with a segfault. Once the patch is applied, running the same command line should not affect a running X session. For the test to have value, the session needs to have been started after the new accountsservice packages were installed. [Possible regressions] This is just one line removing a double free that has been applied upstream for 16 months, so the code itself should be fine. To be certain that everything is alright, not only gdm but also lightdm should be tested. [Original description] I noticed this in my logs. It's not obviously broken anything, but segfaults are bad so I thought it worth reporting.
