Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

In gdmsetup, if a user is entered in the Security tab's options, there is no error message if gdmsetup rejects (and does not save) the selection --- for instance, if the user does not exist or has uid<minuid.
 Users ought to receive an error message before their work / choice is ignored.

 .
   * New upstream release:
     - No longer close file descripters in forked process which shows dialog
       boxes since this causes the dialogs to not display any text.
     - Now GDM will recognize when the system default language has changed and
       will display new GUI's with the new default language. By default the
       /var/sysconfig/i18n file is assumed to have the language defined in
       LANG=foo format. The --with-lang-file configure option may be needed
       to specify a different system language configuration file. On Solaris,
       for example, it would be /etc/default/init.
     - Remove filter_watch after it is called for the first time. This filter
       is used to start the at_spi_registryd, but after it is started there is
       no need to listen to the propery any more.
     - Further improvements to gdmsetup to improve usability. (Malone: #44702)
     - No longer hardcode invisible_char property in glade files, instead
       realy on GTK+ default.
     - Fix so that the userlist is hidden properly when there are no users.
     - Fixes for compiling with gcc 2.95.
     - Translation updates.
   * debian/patches/40_tiny_manpage_fix.patch:
     - fix "gdm manpage has not updated for the distribution changes" (Malone:
       #18709)
