[Bug 84458] Re: gdmsetup does not work, lacks custom.conf

The problem was an old XGL configuration that had belonged to Egdy. I
removed it from /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom, and now there is no problem
anymore.

However, I found the error message quite confusing. Of course there is
no file named "custom.conf", so the "Make sure that the file exists"
looks quite logical. However I tried to touch the file, copied my gdm
.conf-custom to "custom.conf" and tried a lot of other things before I
looked into the configuration itself.

So the error message should be different. I saw in the forum that others
have similar issues with older XGL configurations.
