Hi!
After upgrading to 2.13-22 this morning and performing a login into my
GNOME (3.2) desktop, it (mainly the window manager) froze up within 20
seconds. I was only able to unfreeze it by killing the window manager and
starting it again from the console, followed by a quick freeze-up again
and again. This is not only case using gnome-shell, but also when using
the GNOME Classic desktop and thus metacity.
After downgrading to libc6 2.13-21, things started working again.
Kind regards,
Paul
