Bug#449213: more info

[Paul E Condon]

The behavior also occurs on a third Etch box, but ONLY when I edit the
greeting text from the gdm screen by clicking on the 'options' button
that let's one to xcdmp, etc.  When I work at a properly logged in
debian-gnome session and select:

Applications->Debian->Apps->System->GDM Setup 

I get the same editting screen, but in this case it works as it
should.  My theory is that when the gdm screen comes up during log-in,
X is not yet properly prepared to provide all the services that are
needed by the option box, but that's just a theory from a guy who has
never set eyes on the code ;-)
