Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
The gdm directory should be moved from /var/lib to /var/run because it contains only runtime specific data. (Conforms to FSS - Filesystem Standard).
But it also has a practical advantage: /var/run is a root owned private tmpfs so it works even if some user has filled up /var/tmp (no login is possible via gdm in this case).
(Ubuntu 8.10)
