Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
I noticed this via bug #542338, but I am filing it separately since I
believe it is a different issue.
Right now, if I select the Sugar session to log in with in GDM, it crashes
horribly. This is simply upon choosing the Sugar option in the combo box, and
that is enough to kill it.
(Naturally, gdm gets restarted, but it simply vanishes without warning and,
naturally, it's impossible to log in to a Sugar session). The following
information appears in the system log:
Mar 19 17:30:45 dylan-netbook gdm-session-worker[1439]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL:
g_value_get_boolean: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOOLEAN (value)' failed
Mar 19 17:30:49 dylan-netbook gdm-simple-slave[933]: CRITICAL: Cannot read
specified session file: sugar.desktop

Mar 19 17:30:49 dylan-netbook gdm-simple-greeter[1477]: WARNING: error opening
connection: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/gdm-greeter-CveyZvQE: Connection

It doesn't need to perform a miracle and parse the session file, but GDM
probably shouldn't crash here :)
