Bug#328635: could not restart after upgrade to testing until machine was rebooted

[Julian Gilbey]

Package: gnome
Version: 1:2.10.2.3
Severity: important

Really weird one; if you can't reproduce it, feel free to close.  I
upgraded a testing machine to the new version of GNOME, started from
gdm, and after the upgrade and quitting the old GNOME session, GNOME
would simply not restart: I could log on, but then I couldn't get
anywhere, either in normal or in GNOME failsafe mode.  No windows, no
menus, just a blank X background.  But when I rebooted my machine, it
started working correctly.  No idea why, sorry :(
