I'm using KDE
Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2011-12-16 13:32:55 CET 
GDM != GNOME
GDM = KDM = SLIM

so what you use ?

"I've switched "login manager" from KDM to XDM, but this does'nt fix this
problem.
So i think is not KDM or KDE-related..."

from napcok in the other bug.

Thierry, so not really the dm no ?

Either it's the dm or it's the session crashing immediately
