Running strace -f gdm -nodaemon (from /etc/inittab) shows X dying on a SIGTERM from the parent gdm process. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In the greeter, log in as "root" and give an empty password. 2. Repeat. Or, log in as a non-root account and give the correct password. Actual Results: X dies. Expected Results: Greeter should shake and report "incorrect password". Or, the non-root account should be logged in. Additional info:
Created attachment 93440 [details] strace -f gdm -nodaemon output, bzip2 compressed While logged in to my user account, I modified /etc/inittab to run gdm inside strace and log stdout/stderr to a file, ran "telinit -q", then killed the parent gdm process. I logged in as root with an empty password twice. I logged in as my user account, modified /etc/inittab to restore the original gdm command, ran "telinit -q", then killed the parent gdm process.
This seems to be fixed in the latest Fedora Core test release.
