i can confirm that this crash happens for me.
i have a workaround that "works for me"
1. disable starting gdm in the /etc/rcX.d/ scripts
2. reboot
3. computer will start in text-mode
4. login as your user
5. after login, start X via the startx command
this starts X and gnome but without gdm.
fo
This workaround does not work for me as i dont have the following file
on my system: /etc/xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu on my system.
$ uname -a
Linux srasul-laptop 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP Tue Dec 5 22:28:26 UTC 2006 i686
GNU/Linux
so this problem is still occuring on my Edgy
