Hi Christian, thanks for the warning and solution.
After my dist-upgrade last night, gdm would not start (it gave me a "The
greeter program appears to be crashing" message, and never got to the
login screen). But I could start Xorg with 'startx' and all my Gnome
programs worked fine (including gnome-appearance-properties).
Downgrading libxml2 to the pre-security-update version fixed gdm, so now
everything works.
Have you opened a bug report on this anywhere?
I didn't at first (I had first thought since it is "fixed" in testing
already the libxml2 maintainers would already have taken care of it); in
my self-reply I then Cc'd the member of the security team who made the
security-fixed package (like I'm also doing now). Now I've also made a
report, see:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=496125
I'm on a Lenovo X60 Tablet, Core Duo:
2.6.26-1-686 #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 12:56:41 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
PS. I guess I should also file a bug against the "bug-buddy" package
about the deadlock.
Christian.
