Package: gdm3
Version: 3.14.1-7
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I would like to run some extra x-window applications (e.g. zenity), to be shown
on the login screen.
An application runs without errors but nothing is shown on the display.
I tried run it form /etc/gdm3/Init/Default or /etc/gdm3/PostLogin/Default
Even running it (DISPLAY=:0 zenity –info) from root’s command line, does not
work.
In previous Debian oldstable (wheezy) it was working without problems.
Best regards.
