Back here to see if there is any improvement... Sadly not !
I was going as slow as possible to keep my hardy's before switching to lucid when this would be solved.
Now it's coming to dead line...
I just want to point out that if any lambda user may/can switch from one version to the next one every 6 months, it's not the same in professional use. I can not offer myself to spend hours to do this every 6 months ! And my boss wouldn't agree at all. So maybe the profile of the users switching from one version to the other (for fun or to be at the edge) is different than the ones jumping from LTS to LTS. But Ubuntu is no more a geek toy. If it is running at my office, it because it's stable, insensitive to viruses and other shits and most of all because i can count on it no matter what happens.
So for this lucid LTS, upgrading gdm was needed because the older one was no more supported. But upgrading to something that doesn't do anymore what it supposed to do, is like shooting a bullet in own foot : it's not running anymore after upgrade ! So i would have prefered to keep hardy longer.
But now, according to ubuntu's logic for including packets in already released versions, even if a new version of gdm comes out, will it be integrated into Lucid LTS ? Or do we have to keep an eye on it to force this inclusion if it ever comes out for maverick ?
