Description Loïc Minier 2007-05-10 14:37:39 UTC 
Hi,

Ubuntu uses a GDM socket in /var/run instead of /tmp; Debian would like to do this too; this seems safer, especially security-wise.  This is tracked in bug 331059.

A pre-requisite is that gnome-panel tries the new socket first and only falls back on the backwards-compatible /tmp/.gdm_socket socket.

I'll attach the Ubuntu patch which achieves this.

Bye,
