Bug Description

There are no way to configure gdm (there are no System->Administration->"Login
Window") in latest gdm version. It seems this is because of line:
TryExec=
in /usr/share/applications/gdmsetup.desktop
When I removed this line from /usr/share/applications/gdmsetup.desktop then
"Login Window" appearead in System->Administration.

Hehe, it seems, that this bug is in latest patch (09_desktop.patch), added by
Sebastien Bacher <email address hidden> :)
Now there is:

-TryExec=gdmsetup
-Exec=gdmsetup
+TryExec=
+Exec=gksudo gdmsetup

But should be

-TryExec=gdmsetup
-Exec=gdmsetup
+TryExec=gdmsetup
+Exec=gksu gdmsetup

or maybe we should remove TryExec line at all ?

I've changed gksudo to gksu because of fixed gksu bug #15094 (look at latest
comment from <email address hidden> )

Thanks for your bug. The TryExec change is not necessary and date from some
previous upload, I've changed it with the previous upload since it was not
working nicely an unmodified version is fine, I've fixed this with this upload:

 gdm (2.13.0.2-0ubuntu4) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/patch/09_desktop.patch:
     - fix typo pointed by Mantas KriaučiÅ«nas <email address hidden>,
       use gksu instead of gksudo
