Description Frode Hatlevik 2010-07-20 05:24:31 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

I have gdm3 managing displays on my Debian testing (i386) system.

If kscreensaver has locked the screen there is no option to switch user.

The "Switch user" option on the K menu only locks my display, and does not start a new session with a gdm3 greeter.

There is no option to turn off or reboot from the K menu.

All of theese are functional when kdm manages displays for me.

There appears to be a patch for this in Fedora. A bug repport in Debian BTS refers to this patch. I am reporting upstream.

Please see Debian bug #581841 for a reference.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Let gdm3 manage displays. Try to switch user form K menu, lock screen with kscreeensaver and switch user, shut down system or reboot from K menu.

Actual Results:  
Unable to start new gdm3 greeter, shut down or reboot.

Expected Results:  
Should integrate into gdm3 the same way as it does with kdm.

ossi, could you take a look to the Fedora patch (see Debian bug report) ?

This bug is not a duplicate of bug #186198
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=186198

My bug report is against gdm3 integration. Bug #186198 is against gdm2 integration.

gdm2 integrates nicely with KDE 4 on my Debian Squeeze/Sid. gdm3 does not.

There exists a patch towards KDE for Debian.

Please, can you examine further?

the numerical suffix in the debian package name is only there to have two separate packages for the interface-incompatible gdm versions (both configuration and remote control). the gdm3 package version is 2.30, as opposed to 2.20 for the old gdm package - which is exactly in line with what i have written in the other report. i suggest you do some slightly more thorough research before revising a maintainer's action next time.

This bug is marked as resolved, I assume also because it has been marked as a duplicate. This is not a duplicate of bug #186198 as that bug has been specifically reported against solaris. I experience this bug (exactly as it is described here) on Ubuntu 10.04. 

Also. Can I do anything to help move this bug along? (I am a developer)
