Bug#643634: restore nested login in gdm3

Package: gdm3
Version: restore nested login in gdm3
Severity: normal

Hi, I am a long time user of gdm nested logins. However, they do not exist in gdm3 :( . Before(in 'gdm') I created new logins via the command "gdmflexiserver -n" which would bring up another gdm login window inside a Xephyr container. This functionality is rather useful, partly because there isn't an apparmor XACE implementation at the present time and party because it is (in general) a useful thing :p

There is a bug filed in the upstream at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?idb4370 with a patch to restore the functionality it would be awesome if this was applied in debian!

Debian Release: 6.0.2
APT prefers stable
APT policy: (500, 'stable')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)

Kernel: Linux 3.0.4 (SMP w/1024 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/winrar

The patch no longer applies to gdm 3.0, for various reasons. I haven’t
had time yet to port it to the new version.

Feel free to work on it and provide a new, working version of the patch
for gdm 3.x. Help is always appreciated.



I'll give it a whirl in a bit :) (which version should I target? - sid's or ? )
Also, I am not familiar with gtk or the gdm code base, so I don't know how
much progress I will make :)
