I've Ubuntu 5.10 upgraded to Dapper on line (because I cannot install
Flight 3 or 4 directly). Before, there wasn't this bug. For me appeared
only within the last updates.
My user password: bene
If I've login and use System>Administration>Login Window
it accept my password, but immediately disappear the window
If I try to change the options from the login panel (Debian screen
with face browser) and I use my password "bene", appear the login
message: perhaps the password is incorrect.
(My computer: Athlon64 3200, motherboard 939 ultra, ATI Radeon X800,
HD 200Gb Pata)
Thank you.

That seems to be a gdmsetup crasher. What does happen when you run "sudo gdmsetup" from a command line?

Could you get a backtrace:
- sudo gdb gdmsetup
(gdb) run
... crash
(gdb) thread apply all bt

That's probably a duplicate of bug #32034 which is fixed upstream (a new tarball should be rolled monday and will be uploaded to dapper)
