Bug#504428: /usr/sbin/gdmsetup: gdmsetup is not useful if /etc/gdm/gdm.conf does not exist

[Bartek Krawczyk]

Same thing here, /etc/gdm.conf was present but empty. I've repaired it
by copying /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf over /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. After
doing this I can change GDM settings using gdmsetup. It's probably
Debian-specific.
