Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
When Network Manager asks for the wireless keyring password, X crashes immediately after typing the password and pressing 'Enter'.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable automatic login.
2. Reboot or "sudo service gdm restart". NetworkManager should ask for wifi keyring password.
3. Type the password and press 'Enter'.
4. X crashes and you are returned to GDM greeter. At this point, the login keyring is already unlocked (since you type your password through GDM), but nm-applet runs without showing an icon. It must then be killed with "killall nm-applet -s 9".

Are you running the latest version of gdm? gdm (2.30.5-0ubuntu4) or later? See bug #615549.
I know this may sound odd, but are you running apache, and if so, are you running the latest version? apache2 (2.2.16-1ubuntu3)
(See bug #626723 where X crashed on a quit signal while running on VT7).
