I am the original reporter of Bug #48876. It has been fixed and now it's
there again. I guess it is caused by sloppy shell scripting in xinit and
the such.

I encountered this problem in 6.06 today. If you have set 'ls' as an alias with
argument '--color' in /etc/profile or $HOME/profile, it will be triggered.
The root cause is that, the script /etc/gdm/Xsession will source
/etc/profile and $HOME/.profile, then it use "ls $1" to read
/etc/X11/Xsession.d, the ANSI color control characters in its output
will cause the problem.
Here's the fix: modify /etc/gdm/Xsession, change line 82
for F in $(ls $1); do
to
for F in $(/bin/ls $1); do
