Bug#403931: 55gnome-session_gnomerc has potential syntax error

[David Gluss]

Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.8.1-6

If the symlink /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager doesn't exist, this
script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d fails.  Enclosed is a better alternative.

# If we are running the GNOME session, source ~/.gnomerc

BASESTARTUP=`basename "$STARTUP" | cut -d\  -f1`
XSM=`readlink /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager`
if [ "$XSM" = "" ]; then
  echo No /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager in
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session_gnomerc
fi
if [ "$BASESTARTUP" = gnome-session -o \
        \( "$BASESTARTUP" = x-session-manager -a \
        "$XSM" = \
                /usr/bin/gnome-session \) ]; then
  GNOMERC=$HOME/.gnomerc
  if [ -r "$GNOMERC" ]; then
    . "$GNOMERC"
  fi
fi

By not embedding the readlink command in the "if", we can avoid a syntax
error.  The lack of /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager
can occur in the course of an upgrade to etch.

Thanks!  Sorry about the previous incomplete bug report (no headers) and
I
also added the "echo" so the user gets a report in .xsession-errors.
