Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
Hi, when time permits, could you please backport from Lucid to Karmic GDM's patch for bug #463376?
The bug is about GDM's PostLogin/Default script.
In Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) when you log in as, say, "somename", you get proper values inside /etc/PostLogin/
$USERNAME --> somename
$LOGNAME --> somename
$HOME --> /home/somename
But in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) you get instead these values:
$USERNAME --> gdm
$LOGNAME --> gdm
$HOME --> /var/lib/gdm
It seems that this is fixed in Ubuntu 10.04 too, but I haven't tested it yet.
Having these vars. and others set up correctly for using them in the script /etc/PostSessio
Bug #463376 is where the patch for Lucid was posted; bug #506972 is where the request to backport to Karmic was originally done by Manuel Iglesias.

the bug has been fixed in lucid, closing it, a karmic task can be opened if somebody is interested to work on the change for this version though but it seems low priority now than the new lts is available especially that karmic users either worked around this issue or moved to something else if they really need this to work now
