Fatal X Server in the middle of gdm session
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I'm experiencing problems with GDM after a suspend from disk, after a
seemingly random amount of time. After several hours, gdm restarts.
After ruling out several processes I had suspected to cause this
behavior (namely, non-free software like Skype), I enabled debug logging.
/var/log/syslog reports:
21:06:40 gdm[4915]: gdm_socket_handler: Accepting new connection fd 8

The messages related to this don't stop here, but I don't want to paste
everything.
Any ideas on this? I'm completely lost and haven't tried anything. I
just noticed that there seem to be two gdm processes (PIDs 4915, 11351)
running at the same time.
Thanks,
André
