Package: gdm
Version: 2.6.0.3-1
Hi,
I just tried to have gdm run with two concurrent sessions.
The config file looks like this:
[servers]
0=Standard
1=Standard
...
gdm then correctly starts two greeters, but it is impossible
to run a second session. I've traced the gdm and found a
problem in setting the DISPLAY variable.
gdm execs /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default with the DISPLAY environment
variable set to ":1" what is correct, but then execs /etc/gdm/Xsession
with DISPLAY set to "localhost:0.0" which is wrong. That's why the
session programs can't connect to the X server.
regards
