Package: gdm
Version: 2.14.4-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
After upgrade to 2.14.4-1, GTK+ refuses to initialize. As a result,
xfce4 and Gnome session do not start, and if I use a non-GTK+ dependent
windowmanager like Windowmaker, a lot of programs refuse to execute,
e.g. Firefox or Openoffice.
This is the excerpt from ~/.xsession-errors which I think that it is
relevant when I try to start xfce4 or Gnome:
,----
| (process:24391): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid.
| This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper
| program instead. For further details, see:
|
| http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html
|
| Refusing to initialize GTK+.

With Windowmaker, I get the following errors when starting GTK+ programs:
,----
| (process:24921): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid.
| This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper
| program instead. For further details, see:
|
| http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html
|
| Refusing to initialize GTK+.
|
| (gnome-settings-daemon:24946): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid.
| This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper
| program instead. For further details, see:

| http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html
|
| Refusing to initialize GTK+.
`----
Here we have at least the name of the process that causes the error, but
the error message is wrong:
/usr/lib/control-center/gnome-settings-daemon is neither set setuid nor
setgid.
