Description Scott Cohen 2018-04-23 23:51:53 UTC 
When using unknown command line options with gdm, the program hangs until manually terminated. This is caused by g_option_context_set_ignore_unknown_options (context, TRUE) in the main function. This can be remedied by either changing TRUE to FALSE or by removing the line entirely as by default g_option_context_parse() treats unknown options as errors.
