Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

I had switched my display language to English(UK) at ubuntu 8.04, and when I tried to adjust the preference of gcin, gdm just crashed and I got no idea about what happened.

Here is the information about the package:

Moving to gcin as Pedro pointed out to me on IRC.
Could you please also provide the version of gcin you're using?

I have not been able to reproduce this. It happened only once and I don't remember what I was doing at the time. Sorry!
