Bug#480056: gdm: crash on first login solved for me

[Bart Vanhaute]

Package: gdm
Followup-For: Bug #480056

This problem had bugged me as well, but with an upgrade in the last week,
it has gone away. I'm sorry that I can't give more information as to
what precise package upgrade has caused to bug to go away. I am thinking
it's better to report this anyway so that other people can try an upgrade
as well.

Thanks,
Bart.
