Re: [gdm-list] double login

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

What is your setting for AlwaysRestartServer?  I am not sure if it
would help, but you might try and see if changing this setting to
true helps.

It is difficult to debug your problem, though, since you do not provide
many details about what problem is actually happening.  Is there any
useful information in your Xorg logs (/var/log/Xorg*.log) that might
indicate what the problem might be?  Also, GDM will create a file
named $HOME/.xsession-errors.  Does this file contain any useful
error messages immediately after the problem happens?

What happens if you try to log into a failsafe session and run
"dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session".  Does this work?
If not, are there any useful error messages echoed to the terminal
window?

Also, you could try to enable debug in GDM by setting Enable=true in
the [debug] section, recreate the problem, and then view the
gdm-related debug messages in your syslog (/var/adm/messages).  These
messages might highlight what the problem might be.
