Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=589536

Could you give details on this vpn use you described?

The VPN was a linux version of the Citrix Access Gateway
Citrix Access Gateway Plugin Version: 4604400

I used System > Preferences > Main Menu to create a new "application in terminal" running the command "cagvpn --login"

FYI:
This plugin works on Jaunty [starts in a terminal, makes VPN link, can web to the citrix metaframe presentation website]
The plugin does not work on Karmic [starts in a terminal, makes VPN link, nothing will load or ping or connect. Web page to citrix metaframe does not load.]

Updated karmic with the latest fixes as of 10am GMT. Rebooted.
Ran the new app to launch cagvpn and this time it did not cause the "bug" as specified in this bug report.
Either 1) The App has nothing to do with the crash 2) The crash is random 3) Something fixed it (there was a GDM update).
The App itself still fails to let me access anything on the VPN which is probably a separate bug.

FYI: The iptables firewall was blocking the VPN. VPN now works.
"Bug" status still uncertain.

Got the same, after restarting gdm from console.

could somebody try if that's an issue on karmic now? is the issue really crashing gdm or is it a crash on closing or restart?

It doesn't affect me anymore

the issue has been fixed to GNOME git now

Accepted gdm into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I'm running the updated version for a wekk without issue

I cannot reproduce this crash but I've been testing the other gdm SRU with the proposed package and did not noticed any regression so far. Marking this as verification done, thanks all.

the maverick version will be fixed when 2.30.3 is uploaded in the next days
