Bug Description

System: Ubuntu 14.04 beta2
GDM 3.10.0.1
GnuPG 1.4.16

Summary:

After entering the disk encryption password, gdm fails to prompt for a login password and unlocks the gpg/seahorse keyring.
Automatic Login was/is disable. This happened after the last update (today) and after rebooting the second time.
The display manager seems to have crashed prior to the bug.

The current Version gdm_3.10.0.1-0ubuntu3.debian.tar.gz
seems to have solved the problem. I can not crash the DM by entering "/n", "/0"

Entering "/" does not work anymore (letter disappears after 1 second)
However, entering "/" again, does work. "/" does not disappear again.
