Binary package hint: gdm
After I hit CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE, Xorg should restart and present me with the gretter again.
If I don't give the greeter enough time and press CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE yet again, immediately upon being shown the login, Xorg will restart but the new greeter will fail to start. I am then presented with the error message:
"The greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one."
Syslog shows:
gdmgreeter: Gtk-WARNING: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "ubuntulooks",
followed four seconds later by:
gdm: Gtk-WARNING: Ignoring the separator setting
If I click OK right away Xorg restarts and the greeter again fails, giving the same "appears to be crashing" error message as above. If I wait maybe 20 seconds before clicking the OK button, the next subsequent Xorg restart is fine, the login prompt is shown, and the login attempt is successful. |

This is occuring on Ubuntu Intrepid, 8.10 (confirmed on both x86 and x86_64). |
