Description Sébastien Pierre 2004-05-11 07:59:44 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040506

Description of problem:
When I switched my user shell from /bin/bash to /bin/tcsh, I was not
able to log in after the gdm invite.

Changing back my shell from tcsh to bash worked properly. I guess that
there is a missing shebang (#!/bin/bash) in some X init scripts.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-6.7.0-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change user shell to /bin/tcsh
2. Log out
3. Log in
    

Actual Results:  An error message regarding X init scripts

Expected Results:  Proper log in
