Version: 2.8.0.4-0ubuntu8

When upgrading from hoary I could not see the default greeter, instead I was 
presented with the standard greeter and an error message saying the greeter 
could not be found.

I made it work by making the following changes to /etc/X11/gdm.conf:

--- gdm.conf    2005-09-29 10:03:39.000000000 -0300
+++ gdm.conf.hoary      2005-09-29 10:03:13.000000000 -0300
