[ace] Weird workstation behavior

When I came onsite this afternoon my workstation was behaving strangely. It had apparently rebooted and was sitting at the session login prompt, but it wouldn't accept my password. Caps lock was off and I tried it 8 times.

Eventually I rebooted the workstation, when I went to do that I got a warning that user gdm was logged in. I don't usually get that when I restart. After the restart, it accepted my password on the first try.

Out of paranoia I changed my password. Everything's working fine now, but I wanted to mention it since it felt very much like a fake login screen.
