Public bug reported:
I was running VMWare Workstation 6 and booted up the latest Gutsy CD
image (2007-07-13). It ran until the GNOME splash screen appears then X
automagically restarted. I tried Failsafe GNOME but also didn't help.
Failsafe Terminal worked, and I was able to invoke metacity, gnome-
terminal and ubiquity (probably any other GNOME applications) from
there. Except for the fact that X crashed when gnome-session is invoked:
the last terminal output was 'Checking for texture_from_pixmap
support...' .
I have installed Gutsy ok with Failsafe Terminal so I don't feel the
need to further investigate the problem. If necessary, though, I will
try changing the graphics driver to 'vesa' to see if it worked (it was
automatically detected as 'vmware', which 3D support is somewhat
fluffy).
Steps to reproduce: Boot up Gutsy in VMWare.
Expected behavior: gnome-session should gracefully fallback if the
hardware/driver doesn't support TFP.
