I am not sure why a program being intentionally insecure makes the vulnerability any less secure? This silently removes _all_ security from any user who uses a password comprised solely of non CP1252 characters, from a product designed to improve security. How could this make anyone more

I too was seeing this problem with both gdm and my normal gnome session (i could, sometimes, log in blind). As above metacity ends up constantly respawning and dying due to an assertion failure. I don't quite understand what's going on, but somehow there are no metacity settings in gconf, and

A more complete (and far simpler) fix: $ sudo gconf-schemas --register metacity.schemas Without this, for some reason /var/lib/gconf/defaults/%gconf-tree.xml contained only these values for metacity: dir name=metacity dir name=window_keybindings /dir dir name=keybinding_commands /dir dir
