The problem: Today, gmd has being refusing to login correctly: after I enter my password, it makes some screen resolution switches and the returns again to the password screen.
A hint: the last thing I made was installing the program "AcetoneISO". This installs the suspicious gnupg-agent and gnupg2 as well.
The workaround: so I just changed to tty1 and removed acetoneISO with the help of aptitude. Changed to gdm and still can't login. Realised that the gnupg packages were not removed with acetone, so I removed them as well. Now I can login and write this bug report.
Probably something is wrong with those packages, but gdm should not be prone to this kind of failures. As the effect is an unusable- system-by-normal-people and I suppose that a lot of other packages depend on gnupg-agent or gnupg2, this could be a pretty serious bug with maybe medium priority.
