Bug Description

After backporting version 1:0.34.5-1ubuntu1 to raring, I could no longer log in, because GDM did not start anymore. This is apparently due to the new vte.sh script that returns an error code != 0 if it bails out early.

The attached patch fixes it on my systems. I can also forward it upstream if you want.

Seems sensible - yes, please forward upstream. Link the bug here so that
we can track it and I'll cherry pick into Ubuntu if necessary.
