Package: gdm Version: 2.18.4-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Attached is a patch that put /etc/gdm/Xsession on par with /etc/X11/Xsession (set -e) . I find it really usefull as it detects if something is wrong in the STARTUP variable while it is exec by 99x11-common_start . This happened to me that seahorse xsession script was (is still) broken and it went undetected preventing the other executable in this variable from working soon enough for the gnome-panel (dbus for example was not available to the applets).
