Bug#241323: gdm seems to be using /etc/dm instead of /etc/gdm

[Jeff]

Package: gdm
Version: 2.4.4.7-1
Severity: normal

When upgrading to 2.4.4 gdm installs /etc/dm/Sessions/default.desktop.  It
then seems to use /etc/dm/Sessions as the source for available sessions.
Since various session manager packages install their files in
/etc/gdm/Sessions this leads to a problem where gdm doesn't know about
available session startup scripts.
