Bug#372114: Pressing CTRL+ALT+Backspace causes xdm to delete pidfile
Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.0.4-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
I observed the following behavior of xdm: Pressing CTRL+ALT+Backspace
kills the xserver in which xdm spawned. xdm will respawn it. That's ok.
But to that it deletes it's pidfile although it keeps its pid.
After this invoke-rc.d xdm stop won't work anymore.
I think this looks like an upstream bug.
Regards,
Christopher Zimmermann
