[Bug 53512] Wrong value for Xnest binary path in gdm.conf

[nujoom]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

Package: gdm
Version: 2.14.6-0ubuntu2
Severity: important

gdm.conf has wrong path to Xnest binary.
It points to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xnest but the real path is /usr/bin/Xnest.

After you install the xnest package gdmflexiserver -n failes. 
After correcting the value it is working.
