Comment 76 for bug 774978

Encountered this problem today ...

Was working on a VMware Win 7 virtual machine when suddenly gdm logged me out. Was installing SQL Server 2008 R2 and lost the whole install since it killed VMware :(

There is only that one gdm-session-worker error that I can see in the syslog entries.

Hope that dump helps in resolving this issue.
