Description Matthias Clasen 2007-03-21 15:36:02 UTC 
When logging in using startx, you get both a bug-buddy dialog, and the panel
complaining about the applet crashing. 

Just exit(1) instead of g_error() if gdm is not found would get rid of the
bug-buddy dialog, but the panel would still complain. The best is probably to 
do what nm-applet does, and keep the bonobo server running, but just return
NULL from the factory callback if gdm is not found.

Should probably also do something similar if GDM says you aren't on an attached display.

no interest in this anymore, as fusa has been obsoleted by gdm-user-switch-applet
