> [ Description ]
>
> Due to a refcounting bug, a GDBusConnection was getting disposed when
> it was still required. The symptom of this was that you couldn't log
> in on the second attempt if you'd got your password wrong on the first
> attempt. All you'd see is a blank purple screen and mouse pointer
> only.

> [ Test case ]
>
> 1. Boot to GDM
> 2. Click your username
> 3. Type the wrong password a couple of times, pressing enter after each
> time
> 4. Type the right password
>
> If the bug is happening, after 4. the system hangs at a blank screen
> with the mouse cursor. If you then switch to a VT or otherwise connect
> to the machine, you can examine the journal and you'll see a
> G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION failure.

> Marco and I worked upstream on this fix. We found out that there was a
> problem like this-
>
> The GdmClient has a shared GDBusConnection for its operations. The
> first time someone calls for it, it is created and stored in the
> object's private structure. Subsequent calls return *a new reference*
> to this same object. It turned out that the asynchronous method to get
> the connection was accidentally unreferencing its object before giving
> it to the caller if it was returning an already-existing connection.
>
> For this to work properly, we need to nullify the pointer we stored
> when the connection goes away, so we know when to make a new one.
> There were some cases where we didn't add the weak references required
> to do that. Those are also fixed.
>
> [ Regression potential ]
>
> Now we share connections more than we did before. We also more
> carefully track when to clear our object. If we got this wrong, we
> might end up leaking the connection or dropping it in even more cases.
