Package: gdm Version: 2.20.11-2 Severity: normal
(This might not be a bug in gdm, but it manifests only with gdm for me). When starting gdm when a server is already active on :0, gdm shows a console dialog asking me whether I want to start a server on display :1 instead. When answering yes, it does so, but when logging in with a GNOME session, the session immediately exits. Analysis shows that DISPLAY is set to :0, so gnome cannot open the display. Adding DISPLAY=:1 at the very top of /etc/X11/Xsession makes it work, proving that DISPLAY was not set to :1 when it was invoked. Obviously, gdm should either not offer the option of starting another X-server or, maybe preferably, it should actually work.
