Bug#569142: gdm: cannot customize screen init

[Michal Suchanek <hramrach@centrum.cz>]

Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.10-1
Severity: normal


We have .xsessionrc but no screeninitrc.

/etc/gdm/Init/Default does not soure any user-editable scritp.

Thus user configuration of screen setup is infeasible over gdm upgrades.
