gdmthemetester : eval: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Confirmed.

Bug fixed upstream... Waiting for package to confirm.

Still waiting

there is ten of thousand of bugs open and only a limited number of people working on those, adding such comments are not of real use there

You're absolutely right, I should have said :

«Version : 2.20.0-0ubuntu6
Bug still there.»

It's probably an error but I thought fix Commited means that's it was just a question of upload.
And I've seen many new versions since this report and the patch in gnome was send nearly one month ago by Brian Cameron.
But it's probably my mistake to think it was easy.

Anyway thank you, but I guess adding this comment is «not of real use there».

we use "Fix Commited" when bugs are fixed upstream in fact, this issue was not a blocker one for gutsy and didn't get prioritized but it'll be fixed in gutsy-updates when gdm 2.20.1 is uploaded

 gdm (2.20.1-0ubuntu1) gutsy-proposed; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release:
     - Now gdmlogin and gdmgreeter treat Tab like enter if the focus
       is on the entry field. This addresses usability issues as
       described in bug #433495.
     - Fix bug that was causing the user's default language/session choices
       to not get saved properly if they didn't already have a $HOME/.dmrc
       file.
     - Fix bug with XDMCP logic that was causing GDM to get confused
       about when the maximum number of XDMCP sessions has been reached.
       (LP: #152068)
     - Fix an issue that was causing the username to be logged as a debug
       message when using GDM configured to use crypt or shadow passwords
       (instead of the default PAM). This could cause the user's password
       to get saved as a debug message if the user accidently typed their
       password into the username field when using crypt/shadow passwords.
       No longer translate debug messages in general.
     - Set stdout/stderr to DEV_NULL when spawning at_spi_registryd and
       the prefetch program, fixing a hanging problem.
     - GDM now always sends the daemon a response before exit to avoid a
       hang.
     - Fix gdmXnestchooser and gdmsetup so debug isn't on by default.
       (LP: #137276)
     - Updated the gdmgreeter themes so that they display correctly
       on 800x600 displays.
     - Build/configure fixes for Solaris.
     - Translation updates
   * debian/patches/65_tab-means-enter-after-entry.patch:
     - Dropped as got fixed upstream
   * debian/patches/90_from_svn_create_config_when_required.patch:
     - Dropped as got fixed upstream

Verification done with the Gutsy proposed package, the bug has been fixed, thanks.

Copied to gutsy-updates. Hardy upload is still outstanding.

the new version has also been uploaded to hardy now

Still broken as of alpha6 ... will this be fixed in beta or release?

the issue has been fixed in hardy already, if you still have it you should open a new bug

Actually, I can't tell if it's broken or not in alpha6 because I get this error: ERROR: Xnest not found. I couldn't find Xnest using either apt-get or the synaptic package manager. Where do I get Xnest?

sudo apt-get install xnest

Works for me thanks!
