Hi there,

I think the problem is caused by conflicting configuration of PAM and Unix Consolekit along with faulty setting of ~/.dmrc and ~/.dbus.

This causes crashes due to permission errors in /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket and crashes a variety of applications including (not exhaustive):

hald-volume-manager
canberra-play-gtk
jockey-gtk
console-kit-daemon
pulseaudio
compiz
compiz.real
x-session-manager
...

I will document this further shortly.

Cheers,

Thomas

I'm still bewildered. Someone reports a crash in Metacity. Someone
else says he doesn't use Metacity (so what?). And now you point to a
crash in consolekit. I can only see the relevance of the first one.
Sorry if I'm being stupid.
