I see it right now on karmic.

To trigger it:
1) Login as jakob
2) Switch user, login as gast
3) Switch user, login back to jakob

/var/log/gdm/:2-slave.log fills with:
--------
gdm-session-worker[3963]: pam_unix(gdm:auth): authentication failure; logname= 
uid=0 euid=0 tty=:2 ruser= rhost=  user=jakob
gdm-session-worker[3967]: pam_unix(gdm:auth): authentication failure; logname= 
uid=0 euid=0 tty=:2 ruser= rhost=  user=jakob
gdm-session-worker[3971]: pam_unix(gdm:auth): authentication failure; logname= 
uid=0 euid=0 tty=:2 ruser= rhost=  user=jakob
--------

/var/log/gdm/:2-greeter.log fills with (original is in german, i translated it 
to english)
--------
Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a 
timestamp of 0 for 0x1600028 (Login window)
Window manager warning: meta_window_activate called by a pager with a 0 
timestamp; the pager needs to be fixed.

Additionally, gdm-simple-slave and gdm-simple-greeter start leaking
memory. I rebooted as both processes reached 100MB of private writeable
memory each.
