gdm: [hppa] gdmgreeter repeatedly restarts, then reports failure; gdmlogin still works (fwd)
I'm just wondering if anyone else ran into this problem and might have found a
solution?

Subject: gdm: [hppa] gdmgreeter repeatedly restarts,
then reports failure; gdmlogin still works
Package: gdm
Version: 2.4.1.3-2
Severity: important
When trying this GTK2 version of GDM, I noticed that gdmgreeter (the new ful-screen graphical login) repreatedly
attempts to start but always fails just as it's about to display the theme, after the login field appears. The
information I get in /var/log/syslog shows:

This annoyance only appears on hppa; everything works great on PPC and i386. At first look, this might be a lack of
virtual memory. However, this host has 128Mb of RAM and 356Mb of swap, which is a LOT more than what e.g. my PPC
hardware has and gdmgreeter works fine there. Thankfully, gdmlogin (old style login) still works on all platforms.
