Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
Hello,
When running gdmsetup from Terminal, the Login Window Preferences box
appears for a split second, but then I see a Segmentation Fault. When
going to System-> Administration-> Login Window, I get the same
behavior.
This is similar to a few other bugs which I found, which indicated that
they would be fixed by removing a Wacom entry from xorg.conf or the
presence of /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom. I do not have the Wacom entry,
and my gdm.conf-custom is intact. Any other ideas? Please let me know
what logs etc you need from me. I've included some info below:
