gdm dies after logging out after using kde desktop (dapper)

Thank you for your bug. Opening an upstream bug would be nice, they know the code better and would probably have some idea on the problem. The desktop team has lot to do and that configuration is not a standard one, it's likely that nobody from Ubuntu will look at that bug soon

This assumes the bug occurs upstream. I gather because
Ubuntu/Gnome and Kbuntu/KDE are provided as separate
entities that this problem doesn't warrant as much attention?
If so, it's bit annoying.

that's not likely to be due to a distribution patch, that's probably an upstream bug then. gdm should work fine with any environment, not only GNOME

I have exactly the same situation (GDM running KDE over XDMCP on Ubuntu 6.06 with all updates applied, as of 21 March 2007) and GDM crashes every time a remote user logs out from KDE. This doesn't happen with Gnome or XFCE. I have to run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to get it back again.

Afraid I can't add anything more useful than confirming this.

Seems to me that this is the same problem as bug #71924.
Please confirm.

Most likely it's same albeit #71924 is cluttered with other details.

I have not confirmed that it occurs on feisty and probably won't have
time to
confirm that in the near future due to time constraints.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

You are in luck. I recently installed Gutsy/Amd64 on a vmware virtual host
and I was able to login to kde and logout and gdm was still listening
for XDMCP
connections.

NOTE. This was done by install Ubuntu Desktop and then installing
kubuntu-desktop
package with apt-get.

Do not know about i386 architecture. I could do a quick test in vmware.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again!.

This seems to be NO longer a problem for a system I recently installed running on amd64 arch. So I guess the problem has resolved itself.
