Bug#532319: gdm: leaks file descriptors

[Jiří Paleček]

Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.7-4
Severity: normal

Hello,

I noticed the shell I run has too much open descriptors. Further checking  
indicates the extra file descriptors (5 and 7) point to a pipe opened by  
gdm. See the attached file for details.

Regards
     Jiri Palecek
