it should be not like that.

I don't think this is a GDM bug.  Not all people who use GDM are using the GNOME
desktop.  Although setting up the photo has been integrated for GNOME users in
the about-me applet, users in KDE or other desktops may need to use photosetup.  If
your distro is GNOME only, then your distro may opt to not include this binary.
 I'd take it up with them.

It might be nice if GDM had a configure option so it can be told to avoid
building/installing gdmphotosetup so people can easily configure this rather
than having to mess with the packaging so much in the spec file.

there is bug #316285 about that
Comment 3 Brian Cameron 2005-10-29 00:20:44 UTC 
Thanks, I updated that bug with some comments.  We'll see where this goes.  The
fix for this will likely involve some work on both sides (GDM2 and control-center).
Comment 4 Brian Cameron 2007-03-21 07:20:40 UTC 
This was fixed by adding a NotShowIn=GNOME; entry to the gdmphotosetup.desktop.in file.  Distros can decide whether to remove the program and desktop file completely if they wish to not support other desktop environments.
