Bug#453828: gdm crashes/restarts X when configuring from the actions menu

[Brent S. Elmer, Ph.D.]

Package: gdm
Version: 2.18.4-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
When I select configure from the actions menu on the gdm login screen, 
it asks me for root password then it opens the configuration window and 
I get a busy cursor for a few seconds then gdm crashes and restarts X
and brings me back to the gdm login window.
