Package: gdm
Version: 2.18.1-2
Severity: important
We are using gdm in a thin client setup where all users login via xdmcp
into the same machine. Previously users were able to log into the system
via gdm even if they were alreay logged in from another station (after
being warned that they are already logged in). With our most recent upgrade that has changed and now the gdm login screen simply swallows the login name and password without any response or warning.
