Package: gdm3
Version: 2.30.5-6squeeze4
Severity: important
After a fresh install of Squeeze on 11/23/12 after a hard drive failure, I have
been experiencing problems with gdm3 (I think). Upon the first boot up, it
works perfectly, displays normal login screen with all users listed. After
login gnome works perfectly. Upon a logout, I get a new screen with a large
Debian rectangle and no log in window. Mouse is functional, but I can't get
login window to appear. A look at the greeter-log seems to indicate some
errors, but I don't understand them. This also occurs when screen is locked to
due to inactivity. In this case, there is a login window to enter the user's
password. But the correct password fails. If I try to log in as another user,
this does not work and it returns to the previous user unlock window.
