I've tried to unistall/reinstall the accountsservice package, reinstall gdm, but nothing worked. i'm to see the account-daemon take al loot of CPU cicle with dbus-daemon. but i really don't know what i can try to fix it

Thanks in Advance

Hmm... I'm not sure what's going on. I tried to fix your post to remove the automatic smilies, but the button didn't do as expected and you still have smilies being automatically generated.

I tried that. I tried it twice. It may not work as an edit and only work during the initial publication process? I dunno.
