I'm not sure that this issue can really be sorted upstream, first one would have to assess whether gdmflexiserver is still used in some distros.
In this case I'd personally advocate patching the xfswitch-plugin in Ubuntu to use dm-tool over gdmflexiserver (seems like an easy-enough thing to do), since Xfce users in Ubuntuland are at least very likely to use LightDM. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1320560 Title: xfswitch-plugin refuses to switch user To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfswitch-plugin/+bug/1320560/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
