GDM can't play sounds with spaces in the name

[Antonio Salazar]

Binary package hint: gdm

I'm testing Ubuntu 8.10. The package currently installed is gdm 2.20.8-0ubuntu2.

The problem lies in the /usr/lib/gdmplay script, which uses an unquoted file name.

Original source:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/aplay -q -N $@ 2> /dev/null

Changed source:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/aplay -q -N "$@" 2> /dev/null

I tested the change, and now it plays all sounds correctly. I hope I attached the patch correctly.

  * debian/control.in:
    - don't depends on xbase-clients the depends workarounded an old xorg issue
    - don't recommends ubuntu-sounds since it is installed by default on ubuntu
      use a suggests and let other distribution install it or not (lp: #260558)
    - recommends alsa-utils rather than depends on it, only gdmplay it using it
      which is not something required to use the login screen (lp: #293075)
