Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

The gdm init script "reload" action is invoked when installing other
packages that affect the configuration. However, if gdm is not running,
the script does not behave in a very graceful manner. Observe:

# /etc/init.d/gdm reload
 * Reloading GNOME Display Manager configuration...
 * Changes will take effect when all current X sessions have ended.
# echo $?
1
#

What current X sessions?? I believe the script should just "exit 0"
silently in this case, or at the most complain that gdm isn't running,
so it has nothing to do.
