** Description changed: - I installed Sugar, and the session is properly listed as an option from - GDM, but as soon as I select that session with the combo box GDM - immediately crashes. This does not happen for any other sessions and - occurs all the time for me. + *** START SRU INFO *** + This package causes GDM to crash as-is. The fix is to add a comment to the .desktop file. This is not fixed in Maverick, but the fix has been well-tested and will be included in the next Debian version of the package. slangasek on IRC said he didn't see a problem with uploading this without fixing it in Maverick first. + + ** TEST CASE ** + Install sugar-0.88. Switch to GDM. Select a user, and select "Sugar" as the session. + + OLD BEHAVIOR: GDM should crash, disappearing from the screen. + NEW BEHAVIOR: The option is selected. + + *** END SRU INFO *** + I installed Sugar, and the session is properly listed as an option from GDM, but as soon as I select that session with the combo box GDM immediately crashes. This does not happen for any other sessions and occurs all the time for me.
