[Bug 639810] [NEW] X crashes when NM asks for wifi keyring password

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

When Network Manager asks for the wireless keyring password, X crashes
immediately after typing the password and pressing 'Enter'.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable automatic login.
2. Reboot or "sudo service gdm restart". NetworkManager should ask for wifi keyring password.
3. Type the password and press 'Enter'.
4. X crashes and you are returned to GDM greeter. At this point, the login keyring is already unlocked (since you type your password through GDM), but nm-applet runs without showing an icon. It must then be killed with "killall nm-applet -s 9".
