Add the attached patch to fix doo bug #14007. This improves GDM's SMF integration. Refer here:
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=14007 In build 130, GDM was updated to the new GDM 2.28 version. This version calls the user gnome-session with ctrun which starts the user session in a separate contract. This ensures that a segfault in a user application does not cause the gdm service to restart. However, this is not good enough. For background, you can refer to bugster CR #6720967, when a similar bug was fixed in the old GDM. The problem is that GDM really needs to ensure that the following processes are also in a separate contract: - The login GUI - The Xorg Xserver - gdm-session-worker (which calls PAM) To solve this problem, the attached patch ensures that the slave daemon which starts all of the above processes is in the separate SMF contract. This ensures that any segfaults when the login GUI is displayed, from the Xserver, PAM, or other processes started by the slave are in a separate contract. Note this is makes the new GDM work more similarly like the old GDM worked - the old GDM also ran the slave daemon in a separate contract.
