Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: x11-common

IMHO this "feature" should be moved into a distinct package as it is
dependent on gdm while not beeing an essential part of x11-common.

If a user (like me) tries to remove gdm he will get stuck with this
"fail safe X server" - no chance to remove it via package manager.

Btw.: it is using a much higher resolution than the screen of my eee pc
is able to display. So it doesn't even work for me.

Cheers,
Julian Picht
