Package: gdm Version: 2.20.6-1 Severity: normal Hi, having first discovered the "New Login in a Window" menu entry in my GNOME desktop today, I was a little confused with the unfriendly message telling me that there was "some" error. After looking at the .desktop file, I could infer from the command line that I'd need xnest for it to work. But I'm pretty sure that the average user -and prossibly anybody that doesn't know how to look up what's being executed by the menu entry- will be confused.
It would be nice if you could provide a better error, or just avoid presenting that icon when xnest is not installed (dunno if that's possible). Cheers, Tincho. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_AR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_AR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gdm depends on: ii adduser 3.108 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii gksu 2.0.0-5 graphical frontend to su ii gnome-session [x-sessi 2.22.2-1 The GNOME 2 Session Manager ii gnome-terminal [x-term 2.22.2-1 The GNOME 2 terminal emulator appl ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.20-2 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libattr1 1:2.4.41-1 Extended attribute shared library ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-1+b1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.1-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.76-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdmx1 1:1.0.2-3 X11 Distributed Multihead extensio ii libfontconfig1 2.5.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.5-1+lenny1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.3-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.20.1.1-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.9-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpam-modules 0.99.7.1-6 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.99.7.1-6 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.99.7.1-6 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.2-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii librsvg2-2 2.22.2-2 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii librsvg2-common 2.22.2-2 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libselinux1 2.0.59-1 SELinux shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.q-15 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii libx11-6 2:1.1.4-2 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.3-3 X11 authorisation library ii libxdmcp6 1:1.0.2-3 X11 Display Manager Control Protoc ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxi6 2:1.1.3-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii lsb-base 3.2-12 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii metacity [x-window-man 1:2.22.0-1 A lightweight GTK2 based Window Ma ii xterm [x-terminal-emul 235-1 X terminal emulator ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages gdm recommends: ii dialog 1.1-20080316-1 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe ii gdm-themes 0.5.1 Themes for the GNOME Display Manag ii whiptail 0.52.2-11.2 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe ii xnest 2:1.4.1~git20080517-2 Nested X server ii xserver-xorg 1:7.3+10 the X.Org X server ii zenity 2.22.1-1 Display graphical dialog boxes fro -- debconf information: gdm/daemon_name: /usr/bin/gdm * shared/default-x-display-manager: gdm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
