Bug#496311: gdmgreeter, gnome-panel, metacity .... segfault at c ip b74750a0 sp bfb43480 error 4 in libc-2.7.so

[Ivan Rychtar]

Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.7-1
Severity: important

Errors began to appear after update:
libpam-runtime_1.0.1-3_all
libpam0g_1.0.1-3_all
libpam-modules_1.0.1-3_all
libquicktime1_3%3a1.0.3.debian-1.3_i386
libxml2-dev.dfsg-2+lenny1_i386
libxml2-utils.dfsg-2+lenny1_i386
libxml2_2.6.32.dfsg-2+lenny1_i386



I can login to Xserver after changing /etc/share/gdm/default.conf 
Greeter=/usr/lib/gdm/greeter to /usr/lib/gdm/gdmlogin, but system is 
unusable - reporting errors with gnome-panel and metacity (segfault)
