You're right, there are some errors in those logs. xsession-errors says: "Failed to create secure directory: Keine Berechtigung" (means no permission)
and there are also some permission problems in /var/log/gdm/:0-slave.log (however, this file should be for the user i am currently working with? I exprience no problems with that one... ) and :0-slave.log.1 (there is my test user mentioned, and that is the one that fails). for example: (gnome-settings-daemon:3358): color-plugin-WARNING **: failed to create profile from EDID data: Fehler beim Erstellen des Ordners: Keine Berechtigung (means no permission to create folder) ** Attachment added: ":0-slave.log.1" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/870316/+attachment/2529314/+files/%3A0-slave.log.1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/870316 Title: creating of new user not compatible with gdm Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Creation of a new user after upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 beta 2 fails in the following way: The newly created user can't login at gdm (3.0.4-0ubuntu11). gdm stops and outputs "could not update ICEauthority file /home/username/.ICEauthority" ls -la /home/username/ at a shell logged in with the new username shows no such file. Solution to this was: Use lightdm (1.0.1-0ubuntu4) instead of gdm.
