Bug Description

It is not possible to start gdmsetup after updating ubuntu dapper. These are the errormessages:

start per gnomemenu:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Die Benutzeroberfläche konnte nicht geladen werden

Beim Laden des Benutzeroberflächenelements config_available aus der Datei /usr/share/gdm/gdmsetup.glade ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. Möglicherweise ist die Glade-Oberflächenbeschreibung fehlerhaft. gdm kann nicht fortgesetzt werden und wird daher nun beendet. Sie sollten Ihre gdm-Installation überprüfen oder gdm neu installieren.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

start per terminal:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(gdmsetup:9168): libgnomevfs-CRITICAL **: gnome_vfs_get_uri_from_local_path: assertion `g_path_is_absolute (local_full_path)' failed

** (gdmsetup:9168): WARNING **: Die Glade-Datei ist durchgedreht! Stellen Sie sicher, dass die richtige Datei
installiert ist!
Datei: /usr/share/gdm/gdmsetup.glade Widget: config_available
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm on the german version, so the messages are in german.

This has been fixed some minutes after the first upload with this new revision:

 gdm (2.14.4-0ubuntu2) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/patches/16_configure_menu_item.patch:
     - update the gdmsetup code to reflect the .glade update

(upload has been rejected first but has been reuploaded and should be available soon)

Changed in gdm:

I can confirm this bug. Here is a screenshot of the error message I get when trying to run gdmsetup on Ubuntu Dapper Beta (upgraded to from Ubuntu Dapper Flight March 10 2006 64bit)
