Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

If "accessible login" is checked from Login Window Preferences>Accessibility on next load, GDM refuses to load--so the entire system is essentially unusable. The problem was duplicated https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/83860 . Looks like you might now about it but just in case. The fix was not too easy to figure out for a newbee--you have to manually reset it in xorg.conf and gdk.conf-custom
