Title:
gdm-simple-greeter always crashes on start
To manage notifications
But how do you run gdm-simple-greeter from a debugger? I've not been
able to start it manually.

Is there a quick workaround for this problem? The computer that I
upgraded to 10.04 is pretty useless right now.
After booting, I get a pink hazy screen, but no login prompt, no mouse
buttons working, no panels.
To log in, I:
1. hit ctrl-alt-f3
2. log in as root
3. setenv DISPLAY :0.0
4. xhost +
Have you read the comments? I can't be sure you're experiencing the same
bug. GDM problems can be very different. Have a look at /var/log/gdm/ as
I explain above. My workaround is to remove /var/lib/gdm, as I said.

Excerpt from :1-greeter.log, with approximate translation:
Window Manager Warning : Reading saved session file
/var/lib/gdm/.config/metacity/sessions/1060c6d4bc3fbbceca12727276334735520043090007.ms
failed: Opening filr/
Removing /var/lib/gdm fixed the crash. So it looks like to problem comes
form invalid/obsolete configuration coming from Hardy.
I'm attaching the directory that triggered the crash, it could help
finding the precise source of the issue.
** Attachment added: buggy /var/lib/gdm
Also, here's the new /var/log/gdm/\:0-greeter.log file, to compare with
the one from the crash. (Note that the series of GTK+ warnings about
strings (in Franch...) come from a user name containing ''.)
** Attachment added: Correct (new) var/log/gdm/\:0-greeter.log
