Bug Description
Fresh install of XFCE release(1) Debian on 2 x machines, menu > system > login screen
A dialog pops up with a padlock "click to make changes", I click no "enter password" popup appears, nothing happens
This is a consistent fault, it always happens
If I execute gdmsetup in a shell I get the following error
dave@main-system ~ $ gdmsetup

The "login screen settings" windows comes up, the lock icon is unlocked, but the settings are still greyed out.
also when pressed to relock, the icon doesn't do anything
