I have a problem familiar with bug #136529, where my Gnome-Desktop doesn't start from GDM. Is this fix also available for Gutsy Gibbon?
I have Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon x86 installed. The radeon-driver for my graphics card (ATI Radeon X800) and the 3d desktop running. Before the bug appeared I had an update (quite big - approximately 30 MB of download-size). Unfortunately I didn't restart after that and I continued to install new software from the repositories (Tex Live, Lyx, the latex-plugin for gedit). On the next day as I entered username, password and finally return into the GDM login window, Gnome didn't start at all. Instead the following message in .xsession-errors comes up:
(process:5691): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid.
This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper
program instead. For further details, see:

I tried the offered solutions from #136529 the best I could. But it didn't work (altering privileges to /tmp, remove gdm from boot, creating an alternate user, deleting .gnome2-directory from my home-folder, starting X from terminal). I suceeded in starting Gnome from recovery-mode with root-privileges via startx. But not with my ordinary user account.

I am very grateful for your help in advance.
