Bug Description

The gdm-guest-session_0.24 deb claims to have its dependencies met on Ubuntu 10.10, however it doesn't run. The cause is gdm/Xsession which changed from 'exec /etc/gdm/Xsession "$@"' in 0.17 to just 'exec "$@"' in 0.24.

Reverting the Xsession file to how it was in gdm-guest-session_0.17 allows 0.24 to run correctly on Ubuntu 10.10. It'd be nice to fix this so that the newer versions of gdm-guest-session work fine on all supported Ubuntu releases.

I thought that solved the comparability issue however testing in a clean VM proved otherwise.

I tried again and that does seem to be the only change required. Below is the testing procedure:

Install Ubuntu 10.10
Remove gdm-guest-session
Take VM snapshot

Restore to snapshot
Install gdm-guest-session 0.24 from deb
Observe that guest-session fails
Replace Xsession file with the 0.17 version
Observe that guest-session runs correctly
