Comment 17 for bug 441638

Scott, is there a particular reason why you made the gdm upstart job respawning? It already has its own logic to respawn on a crashing X server (or if an X session terminates normally). If gdm itself is crashing, then restarting it over and over does not make much sense either.

Any objections in making the upstart job not respawn itself? Does this require anything else than just removing "respawn"?

Thank you!
