Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
When logging out (quitting), the gdm themed greeter appears properly, however, when using ctrl+alt+backspace to restart gdm, an error appears along the lines of "The greeter application appears to be crashing." Hitting ok then takes me to the non-themed greeter which works just fine.
To reproduce:
1) Logout out into themed gdm greeter.
2) Ctrl+alt+backspace to restart gdm.
Others have been having similar problems on the ubuntu forums. A few threads of significance:

Some speculate it is a problem with the latest version of libgtk2, however, I was unable to test the previous version as it no longer exists on archive.ubuntu.com.
Thanks for your bug report. Can you check /var/log/ Xorg.*. log, /var/log/gdm/* for anything interesting?
