Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
One of our testers discovered that he has to login twice if he logs out. This happens on all of our workstations. We've seen this with nvidia, ati, intel, and virtualbox.
Here is what happens:
1. boot. result: gdm loads.
2. login. result: success.
3. logout. result: gdm loads.
4. login. result: gdm crashes and reloads.
5. login. result: success.
6. logout. result: gdm loads.
7. login. result: gdm crashes and reloads.
steps 2-4 repeat.
I found an error message in /var/log/
This is not a duplicate of lp bug #532047. I have disabled plymouth-splash and later purged plymouth. Neither fixed the problem.
I tested with a local user. The bug does not show up when I login and logout repeatedly with the local user. The bug does happen if I try to login with an LDAP user after logging out from the local user's session.
Thank you.

The previous common-password attachment was delivered by our configuration management system last night. This testing included removing the deprecated pam_cracklib line.
