Bug Description
Creation of a new user after upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 beta 2 fails in the following way:
The newly created user can't login at gdm (3.0.4-0ubuntu11).
gdm stops and outputs "could not update ICEauthority file /home/username/
ls -la /home/username/ at a shell logged in with the new username shows no such file.
Solution to this was:
Use lightdm (1.0.1-0ubuntu4) instead of gdm.

summary: |
- creating of new user not compatible with gdm + Apparmor blocks GDM login for new users |
That's most likely a permission problem. What does ls -l /home/username/ .ICEauthority say? How did you create the user? Could you try creating another test user too?
