Can someone on debian-x please translate this report into language I can understand? This person throws around terms like "locked" and all I can see is red.
I don't know what's wrong with his system but I'm pretty sure that XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 is fixed. If it weren't I'd still be getting 10--20 bug reports a day about it. Please feel free to contact this person via 196718-submitter if necessary.
