No login window after update

Hi everyone,

This one's been troubling me for a few days now. After the most recent updates, I haven't been able to log in any more. I only get the background image and a mouse pointer, but no login window or status bar. pkg_libchk yields nothing, but I'm getting a few error messages in /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log:
Code:

I deleted about a ton of other (repetitive) warnings relating to bonobo. Where do I need to look?

TIA,
Frank
 
Sadly, no. Right now I'm just using this as an excuse to try out KDE4.
 
I'm having the same problem. There's no login screen after the start of GDM. I'm using Enlightenment for now. I would use KDM and start Gnome from there but KDM is not packaged separately. I'd have to compile all of KDE.
 
Hey, guys did you solve the issue? I have the same exact problem. No login screen is shown, I just see a leaf background that is it.

However, my errors are talking about errors using regex which is regular expressions. Did you guys have any luck fixing this issue?
 
Same here :(

In /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log I can find a lot of lines with message:

Code:
metacity:ERROR:ui/ui.c:752:GdkPixbuf *meta_ui_get_default_window_icon(MetaUI *): assertion failed: (default_icon)
LibGTop-Server: pid 37437 received eof.

Green screen (background), sometimes with bottom panel, no login window.

I think more information would be useful. I have FreeBSD 10.0 installed about 4 months ago with gnome2. In /usr/ports I made make update and then portmaster -a. I've also made some recommended steps from /usr/ports/UPDATING, especially reinstallation of all ports dependent on freetype2, libxcb, and so on.
