Bug Description

Hi,

First of all: sorry about my poor english.

When I select a theme with face list, gdm crash and show an error (in spanish)
that says something like: "The input interface is down. We'll try with other".
Then, gdm restarts with GTK interface. But, if browser=false option in gdm.conf
is marked (for show the face list in GTK interface) when I click "OK" in the
error message, gdm restarts and show again the error, and again, and again...

This occurs both with gdm themes or gtk interface with faces list. I can use all
other themes without face list ok.

I installed gdm-themes package and later was removed. The gdm version is
2.8.0.5-0ubuntu1. I download and install other themes with face list, with same
result.

I delete all $HOMES/.face files

I change the debug option in gdm.conf to true, and this is the syslog result:

Sorry, I want to say:

But, if browser=TRUE option in gdm.conf is marked (TO show the face list in GTK
