Re: gdm console login

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

Hai:

I added a new option to gdmflexiserver in CVS head called "--startnew"
which causes gdmflexiserver to just go ahead and start a new flexiserver
without asking the user if they want to start an existing session.  Could
you test this and make sure it works with xscreensaver for me?

Thanks!

Brian
