Package: gdm3
Version: 3.6.1-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
upgrading to gdm3 from experimental the new gdm-shel greeter does not work
anymore. The old metacity one is used instead.
Enabling the debug I can read the following error in
/var/log/gdm3/:0-greeter.log:

gdm3 is looking for a non existent '/usr/lib/gdm3/gnome-session-check-
accelerated', while gnome-session-bin ships '/usr/lib/gnome-session/gnome-
session-check-accelerated'. Putting a proper symlink in '/usr/lib/gdm3' solves
the problem and makes me happy with the new shiny greeter :) .
Thanks! Best regards
