Bug#270374: status of this bug

[Jon Dowland]

Hi - the tag jiggery-pokery and the merge have confused me as to the
actual status of this bug. Please clarify, which of the following is
accurate?

1) gdm should depend on xterm, not x-terminal-emulator as it uses xterm
   explicitly in the `failsafe' choice and this isn't going to be
   changed.

2) gdm should depend on x-terminal-emulator, the failsafe option should
   be fixed to execute that (which is guaranteed to be available,
   whereas xterm is not)

3) something else [please clarify]

In the case of 1) and 2) I don't think `wontfix' is appropriate.
