Bug Description

When the plymouth integration patch for the X server went upstream the option to enable the desired behaviour changed from “-nr” to “-background none”. We currently carry a patch to the X server to re-add the “-nr” option.

The *DMs should be updated to use “-background none” and then we can drop that X server patch.

ubuntu_plymouth.patch in gdm needs to be edited. And looks like the plymouth integration has not made it upstream yet.
