I can confirm this bug has been around for a long time (at least since 8.28). I suspect it to be related to the infamous "Xorg hangs when logging out" (a.o. 418338, 400743, 402375, and 345040), which has been plagueing us for nearly two years now. Sigh[1].
I can work around the "hang at logout" bug by having GDM restart X at each logout (by putting "AlwaysRestartServer=true" in the [daemon] section of /etc/gdm/gdm.conf). However, "New Login" still invariably results in a hang. :-( Best regards, Marco [1] Note: this sigh is not directed at Romain or Flavio. They're doing an excellent job. Many kudo's to you two! I just wish upstream would *finally* fix that bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
