Bug#585087: gdm3 runs as root and no longer as user gdm

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: gdm3
Severity: normal

Hi.

It seems that gdm3 no longer runs as the special user/group gdm
which it did in the "gdm" package, and which is AFAIK still
recommended in the gdm documentation.

Is there any reason or running it as root?

Cheers,
Chris.
