Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: displayconfig-gtk
(I chose the package I know but this is related to the failsafe X
feature.)
I just modified my X configuration, restarted, and saw displayconfig-gtk
instead of GDM.
I switched back to console, stopped GDM, cleaned up the xorg.conf,
restarted GDM... still displayconfig-gtk appearing.
I was a bit upset because I reverted all my changes and I thought I
restored a functional version.
I then remembered looking at the Xorg.0.log would be a good idea... I
figured out it was moved to Xorg.0.log.old.
I read there that there was a simple syntax error in my file, a
"EndSction" without the "e".
Here is my report: displayconfig-gtk (or the failsafe X) is hiding the error
message we had before.
I would prefer some dialog window open up above displayconfig-gtk to report
*why* the user see this screen.
I would then have fixed the error at once.
Please report some dialog like :
"The graphical interface failed to start because of the following error:
XXX (the errors from X log)
Please check the configuration and validate to continue."
