Title:
  Apparmor blocks GDM login for new users

Status in “apparmor” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Creation of a new user after upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 beta 2 fails
  in the following way:

  The newly created user can't login at gdm (3.0.4-0ubuntu11).
  gdm stops and outputs "could not update ICEauthority file /home/username/.ICEauthority"
  ls -la /home/username/ at a shell logged in with the new username shows no such file.

  Solution to this was:
  Use lightdm (1.0.1-0ubuntu4) instead of gdm.
