Description Matthias Clasen 2007-01-29 18:47:43 UTC 
This will improve the user switching experience..

The necessary gdm patch is tracked in bug 335786. My patch is untested, and
it is missing the runtime version check to make gdm fall back to the user-less
versions of the socket commands when the running version of gdm is too old.

The patch for the cut-n-pasted fusa code should of course be applied to 
fusa too, to enable the same improved user experience there.

updated for trunk

I resynced the copy/paste code with FUSA.  Here's an update for svn trunk.

Which BTW works nicely.  We'll commit this as soon as the support is added to GDM.
