Created attachment 483284 [details] Log of failing GDM slave Description of problem: gdm blows up when responding to interface=org.gnome.DisplayManager.Session method=SavedLanguageNameRead signal during login. The attached trace appears to show a null pointer deference on the 'settings' variable: gdm[1464]: #6 gdm_session_settings_is_loaded (settings=0x0) at gdm-session-settings.c:246 gdm[1464]: #7 0x00000000004086a8 in on_settings_is_loaded_changed (worker=0x144ac40) at gdm-session-worker.c:2114 gdm[1464]: #8 0x00000036c940e2ee in g_closure_invoke () from /lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.91.93-1 How reproducible: about 70% of the time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot system 2. Try to login Seem especially reproducible if automatic login is enabled but occasionally happens on manual login, as well. Usually, attempting to log in a second time results in success. Actual results: gdm slave crashes with attached backtrace and login process freezes with spinning wait cursor.
Fix is here: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/commit/?id=fb47acb592e7e201e5ccedbfbae7d32d8cf254f2 building now.

Yep. That fixes it for me. Bumping the karma.
Will this negatively affect the autologin for the GNOME 3 test day ISO's being spun tonight?
