Just to clear up some wrong assumptions I expressed earlier. The obsolete options that were removed "recently" in 5.13-1 were the -a and -c options, not the -s option. Although upstream now gives the example in the comment to use -ls, Debian never did.
gdmflexiserver support was introduced upstream in 4.21. At the time, Debian did not patch this, and only the -l option was used as default from upstream. In 4.23-3 in 2005 Debian started patching the gdmflexiserver invocation, and the -a -c options were added due to bug #337760. Since then it has been -l -a -c until 5.13-1 reduced it to -l. In the meantime, at least by 5.03, upstream changed its default to -ls. But AFAICS there was never any -s option used in Debian. That said, I intend to introduce the -s option since it will fix this bug for you legacy gdm users, and it should not make any harm on gdm3 anyway since it is ignored there (famous last words). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
