Hi,
What can prevent a user to log in a GNOME session? When entering my username and password at the GDM log in screen, I immediately get a dialog box telling me that the X session lasts less than 10 sec and that some help can be provided by the ~/.xsession_error. Well, this file doesn't even exist. I've tried the "Last session" and "Default GNOME session" options in the GDM log in screen without a success. Same problem for root. This is on an Itanium workstation (ia64) with a fresh install of Fedora Core Rawhide on May 2nd, updated with the latest packages. I don't know if this problem also appears on other architectures. Roughly a month ago (before my filesystem problem), I didn't have this problem. But a lot of things have changed since...
Cheers,
Émeric

I've performed regression tests and finally isolate the faulty package: it's gnome-session-2.14.1-2. Reverting to FC5 original gnome- session-2.14.0-1 solves the problem. I don't know if other versions where built in the meantime, so I can't precisely determine whether the log in problem only appears with the latest gnome-session version or not. Does this issue only affect ia64 systems or other architectures too? Should I file a bug report?

you have most probably found a regression bug... look if its already filed... if not... file it.

Hi Rudolf and the list,
I just realized that I didn't link to the bug report. Here is it:
