Description Ali Akcaagac 2005-06-04 12:03:28 UTC
Some recent changes in CVS installation paths for the binaries have caused that 
the factory settings are misbehaving. The binaries such as gdmchooser or 
gdmlogin (I recall this out of my mind as I type) has been moved from 
<prefix>/bin to <prefix>/libexec but unfortunately the factory settings haven't 
been changed to obey these new installation paths. I for my own system don't 
install libexec in either bin or sbin, I keep them in libexec. 
  
Please have a look where the binaries are installed and what get's resolved in  
the factory.conf file. Please have a revisit and fix these issues. Thank you.

Thanks.  Fixed in CVS head.
