Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
When the /etc/init.d/bootclean init script is enabled, it starts after
the gdm init script (due to the gdm init script starting early to get a
login screen quicker). However, when the gdm daemon starts, it creates
/tmp/.gdm_socket, which the bootclean script subsequently deletes, thus
other gdm processes and gnome processes fail to communicate with gdm.
This results in the symptoms:
- gdm attempting to start a number of times
- gdm consequently backing off to the older flowers theme (rather than the
default Ubuntu one)
- the gnome sessions lacks a shutdown, restart and suspend buttons
To fix this case, gdm should create it's socket in the correct location
in (eg) /var/run/gdm/socket, like other daemons do.
** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
