expand vars in gdm configure (392 bytes, patch)

Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2014-03-06 00:06:05 UTC 
as in, it literally tries to create a file that has "${prefix}" in its name.

This seems to come from the fact that the default value for localstatedir is (unexpanded) "${prefix}/var" and this makes its way into the name of the PID file.

expand vars in gdm configure

Patch for the pid file. It should be done with other vars as well I guess. Also note this broken behavior has been released with gdm 3.12.0, the priority should be high.
