Bug#285576: gdm: set screen resolution feature

[Alessandro De Zorzi]

Package: gdm
Version: 2.6.0.4-1
Severity: wishlist

I think useful - if possible - choose the screen resolution
on login by GDM, I use different monitors on my latoop
and I have to modify my XFreee/Xorg conf file .

thank
Alessandro
