Public bug reported:

Put some random stuff in (in fact for fsck did this for me):

echo "dklsjf ksakjdhas hldslfkljhkljs(" > /home/$USER/.gnupg/gpg-agent-
info-$(hostname)

Then login in gdm, the screen flashes and this is the log in
./.cache/gdm/session.log:

/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
localuser:matteo being added to access control list
localuser:matteo being added to access control list
Setting IM through im-switch for locale=en_US.
Start IM through /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL linked to 
/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default.
/etc/gdm/Xsession: 1: /home/matteo/.gnupg/gpg-agent-info-pecetta: Syntax error: 
"(" unexpected

A similar error occurs in lightdm.
