Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

In the next release of xsplash we support running with --daemon option to detach the process. gdm's Init/Default and PreSession/Default files currently call /usr/bin/xsplash & but should change to using /usr/bin/xsplash --daemon

This bug was fixed in the package gdm - 2.27.90-0ubuntu7

---------------
gdm (2.27.90-0ubuntu7) karmic; urgency=low

  [ Ken VanDine ]
  * debian/patches/10_xsplash.patch:
    - Use --daemon instead of using the "&" (LP: #430834)
  * debian/control:
    - Conflict with xsplash (<< 0.8), we don't depend on xsplash but if
      /usr/bin/xsplash exists we need it to support the --daemon option

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * debian/gdm.upstart: Drop gdm-cdd.conf handling, gdm does not support it
    any more.
  * debian/gdm.upstart: Do not start in single-user modes or when "text" is
    given as a kernel command line option. This restores previous behaviour.
    (LP: #431176)
  * Add debian/onboard.desktop: gdm "onboard" configuration for the
    accessibility dialog, thanks to Francesco Fumanti!
  * debian/rules: Install onboard.desktop, remove gok.desktop from upstream
    install. We do not ship gok any more. (LP: #423831, #130368)
