I can reproduce this locally.
Moving this bug to plymouth; it was the culprit in Lucid.
** Summary changed:
- gdm restarts on initial login
+ Pressing <enter> at GDM screen crashes X
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: gdm
When I boot an up to date maverick laptop, I am presented with the gdm
screen. If I press enter or click on a user, gdm restarts. After it
restarts I am able to login normally. This happens every time.
+
+ X is starting on the correct tty (tty7), and getty does not seem to be
+ involved.
+
+ After X has quit, some text of the form:
+ “^]88888888888888;◆◆◆◆◆^]8888;◆◆◆◆◆^\◆” is seen on tty7.
+
+ X is getting sent SIGQUIT when the user presses <enter>.
