Public bug reported:
Description of the problem:
- LightDM as display manager: X from /usr/local/bin/X is used, just as
it should, according to the $PATH env variable defined in
/etc/environment. Everything works fine with LightDM.
- GDM as display manager: X is always used from /usr/bin/X, and $PATH is
ignored. It seems that the location of X is hardcoded somewhere. If I
move /usr/bin/X to /usr/bin/X.bak and restart GDM, it fails to start and
doesn't find X in /usr/local/bin.
I am using ubuntu quantal, my packages are up-to-date and I compiled X
from upstream git master on fd.org.
