Package: gdm
Version: 2.14.9-0ubuntu1
Severity: normal
When I change gdm.conf file, greeter stops working
After I change theme and another settings in gdm.conf gdm writes
on start message "The greeter application appears to be crashing.
Attemping to use a different one."
Then, when I click on button OK, I get only gdmlogin window.

# GDM Configuration file.
#
# You should not update this file by hand. Since GDM 2.13.0.4, configuration
# choices in the gdm.conf-custom file will override the default values
# specified in this file. This file may be overwritten on upgrade, so to
# ensure that your configuration choices are not lost, please make sure that
# your modifications are only made to the gdm.conf-custom file. If you were
# using a previous version of GDM and had made changes to your gdm.conf file,
# this file should have been automatically renamed as gdm.conf-custom to ensure
# that your previous modifications are preserved.
#
# You can use the gdmsetup program to graphically edit the gdm.conf-custom
# file. Note that gdmsetup does not support every option in this file, just
# the ones that most users want to change. If you feel that gdmsetup should
# support additional configuratio options, please file a bug report at
# http://bugzilla.gnome.org/.
#
# If you hand-edit the GDM configuration, you should run the following command
# to get the GDM daemon to recognize the change. Any running GDM GUI programs
# will also be notified to update with the new configuration.
#
# gdmflexiserver --command="UPDATE_CONFIG <configuration key>"
#
# For example, the "Enable" key in the "[debug]" section would be specified by
# "debug/Enable".
#
# You can also run gdm-restart or gdm-safe-restart to cause GDM to restart and
# re-read the new configuration settings. You can also restart GDM by sending
# a HUP or USR1 signal to the daemon. HUP behaves like gdm-restart and causes
# any user session started by GDM to exit immediately while USR1 behaves like
# gdm-safe-restart and will wait until all users log out before restarting GDM.
#
# For full reference documentation see the GNOME help browser under
# GNOME|System category. You can also find the docs in HTML form on
# http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/
#
# NOTE: Some values are commented out but show their default values. Lines
# that begin with "#" are considered comments.

[debug]
# This will cause GDM to send debugging information to the system log, which

[servers]
# These are the standard servers. You can add as many you want here and they
# will always be started. Each line must start with a unique number and that
# will be the display number of that server. Usually just the 0 server is
# used.
0=Standard
#1=Standard
# Note the VTAllocation and FirstVT keys on Linux and FreeBSD. Don't add any
# vt<number> arguments if VTAllocation is on, and set FirstVT to be the first
# vt available that your gettys don't grab (gettys are usually dumb and grab
# even a vt that has already been taken). Using 7 will work pretty much for
# all Linux distributions. VTAllocation is not currently implemented on
# anything but Linux and FreeBSD. Feel free to send patches. X servers will
# just not get any extra arguments then.
#
# If you want to run an X terminal you could add an X server such as this:
#0=Terminal -query serverhostname
# or for a chooser (optionally serverhostname could be localhost):
#0=Terminal -indirect serverhostname
#
# If you wish to run the XDMCP chooser on the local display use the following
# line
#0=Chooser
## Note:
# is your X server not listening to TCP requests? Perhaps you should look at
# the security/DisallowTCP setting!

# indirect query server, then you must get rid of the -terminate and the only
