#Note: I was able to recover the GUI by the following - workaround...

Hi Angel! Can you please give me more information about this crash? When does it happen? Does the crash have other effects than the popping up of the bug report dialog?

I suffered this once, after upgrading to quantal. At the time, I was having multiple issues - for example, unity performance problems, problems with unity dismissing the "find applications/lenses" overlay, problems booting into gnome-shell.

I was able to submit the report when booting into gnome classic - it's not clear to me if it occurred during that gnome classic session or during the other issues.
My gnome classic session did not display a window manager.

Subsequent reboots, logging directly into gnome classic, have not triggered the problem again.

I get this problems every time I log into gnome.
I have no other problems as the apport-dialogue.
I am using gdm as display-manager.

Hi all, and thanks for reporting this bug. This crash happens when the signon-ui process is terminated, which usually happens at the end of a session. For this reason, the bug reporter catches this crash at the beginning of the next session: that's why it appears that the crash happened on login.

I have a fix almost ready, stay tuned! :-)

Although the stack trace is different, this is at all effects the same as bug 1053444.

Chris, the fix should be already available in Quantal (12.10) already. Just run the Update Manager and it should install the latest version.
Which version of signon-ui do you have currently installed?
