Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.10.0-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hello,
gdm fails to launch gnome.
The logfile .xsession-errors follows:
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/bin/X11/sessreg -a -w
/var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h
"" -l

/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
** (gnome-session:7151): WARNING **: Unable to read ICE authority
file: /home/olivier/.ICEauthority
A solution is to change owner/group of the file .ICEauthority from root:root
to username:username.
I think it is a problem in the preinst script.
Thanks
