[Bug 861261] [NEW] restore nested login in gdm

 

Public bug reported:

Hi, I am a long time user of gdm nested logins. However, they do not
exist in gdm3 :(  . Before I created new logins via the command
"gdmflexiserver -n" which would bring up another gdm login window inside
a Xephyr container. This functionality is rather useful, partly because
there isn't an apparmor XACE implementation at the present time and
party because it is (in general) a useful thing :p

There is a bug filed in the upstream at
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624370 with a patch to
restore the functionality it would be awesome if this was applied in
ubuntu!
