Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
When logging in on a remote xterminal via XDMCP kdm segfaults, causing the
session to die and the greeter to be redisplayed.
A backtrace of the crash (below) shows that we crash trying to create a
bogus DBUS entry. Further investigation indicates the d->remoteHost is
NULL. It looks like there are two different types of nonlocal session:
Localy manged X servers that connect to a remote XDMCP server, and remote X
terminals logging into this host via XDMCP. remoteHost is only set in
the former case.
The patch below fixes the crash by only adding the dbus attribute if
remoteHost is known.
