Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

If I enter the <"> character (inverted comma) in the gdm password field,
then X restarts immediately.

* This only happens once.  On subsequent attempts, gdm accepts the entire password
* I am using the non-free nvidia 190.53 binary driver
* Running fully-updated lucid alpha 2
* I have UK keyboard layout

I'm afraid I don't know exactly which package is causing this bug or
what information to provide.  Please let me know and I'll happily
oblige.
