Title:
  LDM doesn't set ~/.dmrc correctly

Status in Linux Terminal Server Project:
  New

Bug description:
  I am running Natty on an LTSP fat client and server.

  In /usr/share/ldm/rc.d/X50-dmrc-processing, ldm reads and/or sets
  ~/.dmrc depending on the chosen session.

  The variables $LDM_SESSION and $CURRENT_SET usually contain strings
  like "gnome-session --session=ubuntu". In particular, they usually
  contain spaces.

  This seems to make the lines

  LDM_SESSION=$CURRENT_SET

  and

  NEW_SESSION_SETTING=$(get_desktop_file $LDM_SESSION)

  behave badly as only the first part 'gnome-session' is looked at. The
  result (due to the further processing of said script) is that the
  session that ends up in ./~dmrc is always 'gnome-failsafe'.
