[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#539192: dbus-x11: X fails to start after the latest security patch!

[Dave Goel]

Package: dbus-x11
Version: 1.2.1-5+lenny1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


After today's security patch for dbus-x11.  On one of my 5 systems, X simply fails to restart.  Before this, everything was working fine, and gdm would start.

Now, when I start gdm, the screen goes blank, and a minute later, the monitor powers off. No problems are reported. I have tried with kdm as well.
