Bug Description

hi

i m the gstyle's developper wich have a gdm part too like yours

i just tried again gdm2setup to see and it still add space between key/values in the custom.conf file wich is bad

[daemon]
timedloginenable = False
automaticlogin = smo
automaticloginenable = True
timedlogindelay = 0.0
timedlogin = smo

so any of those options works, need to remove all space before and after the =

edit:

it do not respect key naming neither...

timedloginenable might be TimedLoginEnable
automaticlogin -> AutomaticLogin

....

The module responsible for the spaces is a core Python module, so I am not sure that this can (or should be changed). Can you explain why or how this is causing problems?

 hi

Can you explain why or how this is causing problems?

-> nothing special, i start gdm2setup and it rewrite my custom.conf like i posted on launchpad with bad keynames and spaces

i had the same problem with python and had to use sed to remove them (bad but working) and i used a special option too to tell python to keep the keyname like they are
if i don't do that, Autologin became autologin and nothing worked (i don't remember the python module i used)

(sorry for my english) :)
