Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
After I hit CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE, Xorg should restart and present me with
the gretter again.
If I don't give the greeter enough time and press CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE yet again,
immediately upon being shown the login, Xorg will restart but the new greeter
will fail to start. I am then presented with the error message:
"The greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different
one."
Syslog shows:
gdmgreeter: Gtk-WARNING: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path:
"ubuntulooks",
followed four seconds later by:
gdm: Gtk-WARNING: Ignoring the separator setting
If I click OK right away Xorg restarts and the greeter again fails,
giving the same "appears to be crashing" error message as above. If I
wait maybe 20 seconds before clicking the OK button, the next subsequent
Xorg restart is fine, the login prompt is shown, and the login attempt
is successful.
This is occuring on Ubuntu Intrepid, 8.10 (confirmed on both x86 and
x86_64).
