Bug Description
Binary package hint: xdm
When logging into xdm sometimes it will crash before I can finish typing in my credentials. Sometimes I will be active in an xdm session for a few mintues over over an hour and it will crash.
When it crashes at the login screen it usuallys brings itself back up. When it crashes during the session this doesn't happen.
During the crash i see radnom characters on the screen and sometimes there's plaintext/ This will happen if I was say typing an email.
It seems like xdm is continuing to run but no data is being sent to the display except the raw content. Of course I could be very wrong.
