Bug#309224: gdm: needs flag to prevent any user-interaction in caller session

Package: gdm
Version: 2.6.0.8-1
Severity: wishlist

The flexible-server mechanism can make use of multiple server
definitions, but when this feature is used, gdmflexiserv currently
requires user interaction to select the session.

This breaks when eg. xscreensaver runs gdmflexiserv, because there is
no possibility to have this dialog displayed while the display is
locked.  It would be better if it was possible to run
non-interactively, in this case by auto-selecting the 1st available
server, or selecting a given server.
