Bug Description
After installing todays package updates (which seem to have fixed the xklavier 11/12 problem a lot of people were having yesterday :D) I Noticed I could not 'right click > Open new terminal' (The terminal windows were just not loading)
So i restarted, and afterwards, the login screen came up and works fine, however;
Logging in gives you a blank screen (Ubuntu background pastel orangey colour) and you must CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to kill X and reload the login screen. Gnome failsafe works (But the Little xterm isnt much good as a desktop :P)
I found the following relating to my logon in /var/log/syslog (Hope it helps)
gdmgreeter[7930]: GdkPixBuf-CRITICAL: gdk_pixbuf_
gdmgreeter[7930]: GdkPixBuf-CRITICAL: gdk_pixbuf_
gdmgreeter[7930]: GLib-GObject-
Can anyone confirm?

Update:
As the errors were relating to width and height, I thaught maybe my multi-screen setup was causing it (nvidia card)
so I have backed up /etc/X11/xorg.conf and generated a new one with nvidia-xconfig.
I then ran 'gdm' from a terminal as root. Login prompt appeared in one screen, with the other monitor still off.
Still no luck, hangs in exactly the same place
(If it's of any use, monitor is 1440x900 19" wide screen)
I will include my current xorg.conf with this post
