Bug#241096: gdm: Have the same problem

[Josep Puigdemont]

Package: gdm
Version: 2.4.4.7-1
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #241096

I have the same problem, I can't get into a GNOME session after
log in in GDM. I can start a GNOME session by choosing failsafe
gnome, though.
I have another computer with the same updates with is not
seeing any problems. Both computers are different, but have
roughly the same packages installed. I even copied the entire 
/etc/gdm from the computer in which gnome session works into
the computer having problems, but that didn't solve the problem
either.
