Gtk errors during PreSession

[thom]

Binary package hint: gdm

gdmflexiserver illegally counts on the cooperation of GTK for setuid. GTK refuses: http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html

The bug is in: /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default
The bug is forcing GTK to refuse gdmflexiserver

Here is part of my .xsession-errors, I made some stuff visible by using "set -x" :
