Comment 2 for bug 645880

This affects my machine as well, though it started after recent updates to lucid. I am not sure which one as a lot of updates were applied, including gdm. I upgraded to maverick with hopes of remedying the issue, but to no avail. However, its only about 1 minute on my amd64 desktop and gdm finally starts with some error briefly displayed: (process 522) GLib- warning**: get pwvid-r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)
