xdm writes utmp/wtmp entries during login/logout in GiveConsole and TakeConsole like so: GiveConsole:/usr/X11R6/bin/sessreg -a -w "/var/log/wtmp" -u "/var/run/utmp" \ TakeConsole:/usr/X11R6/bin/sessreg -d -w "/var/log/wtmp" -u "/var/run/utmp" \ But gdm doesn't, so when I log in via gdm, I can see "0 users".. this isn't a really big deal, but is it possible that it could be fixed to track logins/logouts via gdm?
This can be fixed by the following, could you please include in next release? mkdir /etc/X11/gdm/{Pre,Post}Session cp /etc/X11/xdm/GiveConsole /etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default cp /etc/X11/xdm/TakeConsole /etc/X11/gdm/PostSession/Default
This issue has been forwarded to a developer for further review
Added mkp to CC so that he can evaluate this change for the next version of gdm.
