Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

The gdm directory should be moved from /var/lib to /var/run because it contains 
only runtime specific data. (Conforms to FSS - Filesystem Standard).
But it also has a practical advantage: /var/run is a root owned private tmpfs 
so it works even if some user has filled up /var/tmp (no login is possible via 
gdm in this case).

(Ubuntu 8.10)

** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu)
