I would accept a patch that either hardcoded an alternative way to open
the file or made it configurable via editing a gdm.conf option. 
Configurable may be nicer for non-GNOME users who use GDM.  But if we
hardcode it now and it is a problem for someone, they can always make
it configurable later.

It would be nice if you fixed the configure.ac so it no longer requires
libgnome or libgnomeui, and disable the building of the vicious-gnome
library which requires libgnome (since it is no longer used by GDM
anymore).

Thanks.
