[Bug 1495030] [NEW] lightdm-gtk-greeter hangs, leaving session locked with gray screen

 

Public bug reported:

On a fresh Xubuntu 15.04 install, I created a new user. When I lock the
session (or resume from standby, which also locks the session), I see
nothing but a screen in light gray. After about a minnute, the screen
goes black (power safe), pressing any key brings back the gray screen.
There is no possibility to unlock the session. Ctrl+Alt+F1 brings me to
terminal, where I can see with `top` that "lightdm-gtk-greeter" takes
100% CPU.

The log contains warnings about background images that can not be read.
I believe those are warnings only and not fatal errors.

Version of lightdm-gtk-greeter: 2.0.0-0ubuntu1.
