gdm-simple-greeter crashed with SIGSEGV in pixman_image_composite()

[Martijn vdS]

Binary package hint: gdm

Today I rebooted my machine, and was greeted with an empty screen (except for the background image).

Logging in on tty1 and restarting gdm made it work again.

the issue is rather a svg or cairo one, did you get it only once or do you still get the bug?

[Martijn vdS (martijn)]

I only saw the error once, then I reported the bug.
