reassigning to apport according to the previous comment
** Package changed: gdm (Ubuntu) = apport (Ubuntu)
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: gdm
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04
After the last system update I no longer can login to the system using the
gdm login screen.
gnome-session failsafe kde or even xterm all have the same effect that after
I press the login button I simply en up back at the login prompt.
- I can login using the console.
- If I start xinit then gnome-session it looks to be working have not used it
that much so I'm not sure if there is any ill effects of doing it this way.

I have not found any information in any logs I know about and have
failed to find any way to make more information available.
I did modify the gdm.conf to strace everything but I'm not sure how it's
supposed to work so it do not help me to find out where the problem is.

- here is the execve calls in case anybody can spot the point of failure
