           Summary: gdm configuration error
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdm

After dist-upgrade from hoary to breezy, gdm theming is broken.
The following message is displayed:

---
Configuration is not correct.
The configuration file contains an invalid command line for the login dialog, so running the default 
command. Please fix your configuration.
---

However, everything is fine when i access System > Login Screen Setup. My themes greeter all appear well, 
and selection of any of them doesn't cause any error.

Got this in /var/log/syslog after enabling syslog input:
