Sebastian:

I am confused by your comments: "Could people stop to apply such workaround? you are breaking next upgrades this way but will probably not notice for some time until the configuration change in the package and then you will wondering why the upgrades are broken"

Which workarounds are you talking about? The reason is there are two sets of solutions people are proposing. One is simply to set the value of BACKCOLOR, and the second one is Jürgen's fix.

Isn't the gdmflexiserver the problem? Jürgen's fix @ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/132833/comments/11 replaces every "gdmflexiserver" with "gdmflexiserver -a".

I confirm that this works.
