Bug Description

Several people reported being confused by the Gnome entry showing up in ldm even though they don't have a gnome session installed. Starting it would just fail.

I think it's caused by ldminfod not understanding the "hidden=true" property in the session .desktop file, these shouldn't be exported at all to the client.

Hello Stéphane, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ldm into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I can confirm that it works with a clean Ubuntu VM. Before upgrading to the new ldm-server I'd see two Ubuntu sessions, an Ubuntu 2D session and a GNOME session. After the update I correctly see a single Ubuntu session and Ubuntu 2D session.

Martin: Can you please copy the package to Quantal too? This fix will be part of the next upstream release but there's isn't enough fixes upstream for it to justify a relesase just yet.
