[Bug 82755] server selection panel appears on switching users when there are commented out server entries

[Johannes Thoma]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

When switching users I get a panel that asks Choose an X server to start
with two entries:

Standard X Server 
Standard X Server

shortly before the screen switches to the view where I can either enter
my own password to unlock the screen or select press Switch User again
to choose a user to switch to.

I experimented with alternative servers (Xvnc) but commented out the
lines in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom again, like so:

[servers]
# 1=VNC

[server-VNC]
# name=VNC server
# command=/usr/bin/Xvnc -passwordfile=/home/johannes/.vnc/passwd

(note the whitespace). The /etc/gdm/gdm.conf was left untouched.

It is really a minor issue, does not hurt anybody, but might confuse
users (when selecting an X-Server from the panel, which is possible when
the session is restored again, a (new?) X server is started with a
default login. what happened to the old X server? and so on ..).

Thanks all
