The funny thing is that there are always 2 instances of gnome display
manager working:

r...@thomas-laptop:/home/thomas# pidof gedit
r...@thomas-laptop:/home/thomas# pidof gnome-terminal
5823
r...@thomas-laptop:/home/thomas# pidof gdm
5164 5161
r...@thomas-laptop:/home/thomas# 

This is the same in jaunty as in Intrepid. This problem remains after
the initial gedit and openoffice.org problem is resolved. I suspect this
could be related to gdm, as well as the compiz.real bugs. I stopped
having these compiz.real bugs in the newer kernels. At the moment
(intrepid alfa's and beta) I attributed it to the consolekit segfaulting
thing, but since James Westby and others fixed that, my consolekit bugs
reoccured. I was however still able to reproduce the same crash as
experienced in the compiz.real and compiz-plugins-stuff bugs by the
commands I used to investigate these bugs, e.g. metacity --replace ;
compiz --replace ; xsession-manager --replace or compiz | sudo compiz
and more stuff like that. I think now that I was wrong to suspect
consolekit and that I am in fact experiencing a gdm problem that is
either hardware specific, or results from conflicts with other packages
(xserver-xorg and such?).

Anyway, I will now shut down the gdb session and open up some new
<gnome-terminal>'s. Then I try the attach pidof gdb one more time. Then
it is strace and valgrind, then I install gdm-dbgsym.
