[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#419392: gdm starts up (too) early in
the boot process

Package: gdm
Version: 2.16.4-1.1
Severity: normal
Hi,
We are reworking the dbus package so that packages needing dbus can
provide normal init scripts instead of ones in /etc/dbus-1/event.d, which
makes live easier for maintainers and less confusing for users.
Obviously this means that daemons using dbus (avahi, hal, etc) will start
after dbus instead of as part of the dbus init script. Currently gdm starts
at S21 and dbus (and everything depending on it) at S20.. Which means that
when converting hal to a normal init script, gdm will always start before
hal. Which can cause some strange effects, when one logs into for example
gnome while hal i starting.
It would be good if gdm moves to S30, so we have some room to order the dbus
daemons correctly.. On my system this would only force ntp and bluetooth to
start before gdm (which might be a good idea anyway)
