Package: gdm Version: 2.20.9-1.1 Severity: normal
I've just installed a new computer with stable 5.03. I installed the "gnome" package, which pulls in X etc. and also gdm. In that installation, xterm is missing, and for that reason the failsafe terminal (offered as a GDM session) fails. This looks bad from a users perspective, even if it's just a small matter of exchanging "xterm" with "x-terminal-emulator" in some config file. I have upgraded the system to testing now, and the problem is still there. Thanks for your work!
