[Bug 95017] Re: missing alternatives entry

[Jan]

this is a testing machine tracking the ubuntu development for several
years. The version reported was pulled as a part of routine update. But
the problem certainly existed before.

The content of the 
/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/gdm-config-derivative after instaling 
ubuntu-desktop followed by xubuntu-desktop and edubuntu-desktop is:

auto
/etc/gdm/gdm-cdd.conf

/etc/xdg/xubuntu/gdm/gdm.conf
50
/usr/share/edubuntu-artwork/gdm/gdm-cdd.conf
55

should have been (appox):

auto
/etc/gdm/gdm-cdd.conf

/etc/gdm/gdm.conf
50
/etc/xdg/xubuntu/gdm/gdm.conf
51
/usr/share/edubuntu-artwork/gdm/gdm-cdd.conf
55

else your original ubuntu gdm config is lost forever which is a pitty
since it's realy nice.

I suggest gdm use "gdm-config-alternative" as well anticipating the
possible use of xubuntu and edubuntu later.
