Bug#651693: gdm3: Please make it possible to specify X server options again

[Cyril Brulebois]

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.0.4-4
Severity: important

Hi,

some time ago I wrote in [1]:
| Getting a core file

|     Using gdm3: The idea is to tweak the daemon’s LocalXserverCommand
| setting, adding the -core option. As of gdm3 2.30, the defaults can be
| found in /usr/share/gdm/gdm.schemas. Sample /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf
| excerpt:
| 
| [daemon]
| LocalXserverCommand=/usr/bin/Xorg -br -verbose -audit 0 -novtswitch -core

With the current gdm3 version, it appears that:
 - this option is gone.
 - there's no way to specify an extra (here: -core) X server option (that
   looks hardcoded in daemon/gdm-server.c).

Please make it possible to specify some extra options again.

Mraw,
KiBi.
