Another way to trigger this crash: 1. Select any username 2. Hit cancel 3. Select any username -> gdm-simple-server segfaults and another xserver is started on the next available vt (vt8 in my case) along with gdm-simple-slave, because the old xserver is still running on vt7 (showing the login wallpaper and movable mouse cursor, but nothing else).
