Bug#605111: gnome-session does not allow to use gnome splash screen but package gnome-splashscreen-manager does

[Roland Baudin]

Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.30.2-3rb
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze

It seems that the gnome splash screen feature was removed in Debian Squeeze,
but the package gnome-splashscreen-manager still exists in the distribution and
thus has no effect. It is very confusing. I suggest enabling again splash
screen (but not enabled by default if you want) in gnome-session, thus users
could still use gnome-splashscreen-manager to get their gnome splash screen.
