Re: gdm in unstable
Hi,
I got the same trouble with the Debian session.
I fixed it by realizing that /etc/gdm/Sessions/Debian should not exec
/etc/X11/Xsession. Instead it should source /etc/X11/Xsession. I figured
this out be looking through the xdm session scripts.
I did not send a bug report to the gdm maintainers.
Yours
Marcus
