apps0 LTSP logins made to work again
This morning we discovered that apps0 had started to suffer from the same problem with LTSP logins as apps1 had last week: when you logged in the initial session start was quite slow, and then you couldn't start most or all new programs. We have successfully fixed this problem; however, in the process we accidentally logged out all current LTSP sessions.
We apologize for the disruption and the inconvenience.
(The problem turned out to be in the system DBus daemon, which was being mostly unresponsive. It turns out that Gnome will log you out if it loses contact with the system DBus daemon, as happens when you restart said daemon.)
