Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

Gnome crashes randomly, often when pressing a key after some time of inactivity.
It looks like this bug only happens when GDM/X starts on a tty other than tty7 
(in my case tty2).

I have experienced this bug on Arch Linux, and it looks like getty doesnt have 
time to aquire tty1-6 before GDM is started.
Look at Arch bug and solution: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15881

I did find several reports on gnome crashing, but all of them (?) seemed to be 
linked to a specific graphic card,
and noone mentioned this solution. Perhaps this is the reason for many other 
bugs?

Any way to assure getty is ready before GDM is launched?
