s/Can configure/Can't configure/
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2007-08-11 20:09:47 UTC 
This is caused by wrong paths in /usr/share/gdm/applications/gdmsetup.desktop

Exec=/usr/sbin/gdmsetup 

should be

Exec=/usr/bin/gdmsetup

But fixing this only gets us to an error message from consolehelper, so something
else is broken...
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2007-08-13 02:29:01 UTC 
Should be fixed in rawhide
