gdmsetup doesn't work from the gdm menu

Might be related to https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-March/016068.html , which is now fixed. What version of gtk+ are you using? (apt-cache policy show libgtk2.0-0)

Thanks for your bug. That's a known issue and need to be worked, setting as a bug we want to look on for dapper

root@ajok:/home/lionel# apt-cache policy libgtk2.0-0
libgtk2.0-0:
  Installé : 2.8.13-1ubuntu1
  Candidat : 2.8.13-1ubuntu4
 Table de version :
     2.8.13-1ubuntu4 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Packages
 *** 2.8.13-1ubuntu1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I whink I may be hit by the same bug. I am using x86 though. GTK+ 2.8.16-1ubuntu1. gdmsetup startup fails with the following error:

$ sudo gdmsetup
GTK Accessibility Module initialized
Command failed, no data returned
  Trying failed command again. Try 2 of 5.
Segmentation fault

If you think this may be a seperate issue I am sorry and will gladly open a new bug, providing a backtrace or what else is needed for you to fix this.

Jan, that's an another issue, please open a different bug about it

Today, after a reboot and quite a few upgrades, I can't reproduce the error any longer.

I am sorry for taking up your time and messing up this unrelated bug report.

no problem

With bug #14585 fixed that item is not used by default and from the gdmsetup, marking the bug as minor according to that

the issue is deprecated in the gdm rewrite which is in karmic now
