The files are stored under /etc for historical reasons + laziness. Really, by Karmic these no longer even have anything to do with gdm, so there's little reason they should remain where they are. However, since they are in /etc/, if we move them we also need rules to safely remove the files from /etc during upgrades.
At this point given a few of the other failsafe-x bugs, it might make sense to break these scripts out into a standalone package, rewrite it in python, and provide both ncurses and gui frontends. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged -- Failsafe X stuff shouldn't be stored in /etc/gdm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/480744 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
