That bug appears to be a problem with failsafe X not working correctly on the user's system, but there's no information there about why gdm is failing in the first place. I think this needs to be triaged further before concluding that we shouldn't proceed with this SRU (OTOH, we also shouldn't pub

And yes, dropping 'respawn' from the job is enough to stop the job from being respawned by upstart. I think the only justification for setting respawn is that, even though it's not the upstart default, it's a sensible default policy for services. So if it's not working for any reason, by all mean

Scott, is there a particular reason why you made the gdm upstart job respawning? It already has its own logic to respawn on a crashing X server (or if an X session terminates normally). If gdm itself is crashing, then restarting it over and over does not make much sense either. Any objections in m
