Package: gdm3
Version: 3.0.4-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I manually removed gdm and installed gdm3.
The login screen offers a menu of all the valid users
and I logged in under my username.
The applications menus under gdm3 is missing several
items, the major item is the ability to logout,
and to login as another user without rebooting.
Also missing are the Debian menu - the Main Menu
will not select this item.
Also, the items in my Desktop directory are not
shown on login.
