Bug Description
When launching either Thunderbird or Firefox, my desktop session crashes. I see the underlying command line stuff for a second, and then lightdm launches and I have to re-log in again.
This seems to coincide with my recent issue of not being able to launch Unity or Gnome Shell with nvidia-current drivers installed. The only DE that works for me is Classic Gnome w/o effects.
When launching Unity from lightdm, the behavior is the same as mentioned above -- the desktop crashes, and immediately spawns lightdm again. I can repeat this cycle ad-nauseum.
