Bug#472264: gdm: segfault and crashes on first login and halt

Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.4-1
Severity: important

GDM crashes when I enter my user and password for the first time after boot, 
then it restarts again and only then I'm able to login correctly.

It also segfaults when I halt or reboot the machine. This is happening since the latest
update. I haven't tested/debugged much, I probably will wait until the 2.24 packages 
enter sid. I'm attaching error logs.

regards
