Description Martin Stransky 2011-02-21 12:45:09 UTC 
Description of problem:

I updated my F15 system today (the update included gdm) and I can't log into X any more. gdm just flickers and returns back to login screen. I have to switch to runlevel 3 and start X session from terminal by 'startx'.

gdm downgrade does not help.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-2.91.6-9.fc15.i686

gdm-2.91.6-8,7,6 does not work too.

How reproducible:
Always

You need to also install the accountsservice rpm.
