Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/31803
Comment: Others in that forum thread reproduced it in Breezy. I just reproduced it in Dapper. In Dapper, the behaviour is as follows: Uncheck the check mark. Warning dialog box pops up saying that you may lose data. Click yes, and gdm shuts down immediately. On a reboot, gdm starts up again. However, this works: Uncheck the check mark. Warning dialog box pops up saying that you may lose data. Click yes, and gdm shuts down immediately. Log in, and type startx. Go to services-admin. Uncheck gdm again, click yes, and then click OK. GDM is now disabled. :) -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
