[Bug 43879] dapper: X ignores commandline-switch -layout

[Markus Schlager]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gdm (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Needs Info


Description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg

Since I installed yesterdays (May, 8th) updates I'm  encountering the
problem, that gdm only starts the defaultLayout declared in xorg.conf
although the commandline within in my gdm.conf looks essentially like

'/usr/X11R6/bin/X -layout MyLayout'

'xinit /usr/X11R6/bin/X -layout MyLayout' from the commandline fails to
start the desired screen-layout as well, whereas 'startx -layout
MyLayout' does the desired job.

Running a multiseat-setup with dapper-beta where this option is
definitely important  (and worked perfectly on Sunday, May 7th)
