Wrong value for Xnest binary path in gdm.conf

[nujoom]

Binary package hint: gdm

Package: gdm
Version: 2.14.6-0ubuntu2
Severity: important

gdm.conf has wrong path to Xnest binary.
It points to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xnest but the real path is /usr/bin/Xnest.

After you install the xnest package gdmflexiserver -n failes.
After correcting the value it is working.

 status Rejected

This is fixed in (at least) dapper.

That's probably because you replied to keep your local changes to the gdm.conf on upgrade and didn't get that change then
