Really check for X server in prefix /usr (1018 bytes, patch)

Description Jürg Billeter 2005-10-28 16:48:24 UTC 
Version details: 2.13.0.0
Distribution/Version: paldo testing 1.4

With Xorg 7.0 at least some linux distros will install the X server in prefix
/usr. gdm's configure script currently doesn't check that location, resulting in
a non-working default configuration.
