Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
I have a broken GDM today that runs 100% cpu and won't show a login. Apparently this is related to the facebrowser. I'd like to turn it off via the same GUI systems that I enabled it with. I'm able to log in to the system and GNOME via startx, but when I run gdmsetup, I get an error that GDM is not running and the program exits.
I don't know what problem this "is gdm running" check is intended to solve, but it makes fixing this a PITA.
