Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.8.1-5
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
If you set your gnome window manager to fvwm2, the session login hangs
waiting for fvwm to respond to the session manager. This is because it
is not being passed the correct arguments to identify the client ID.
Attached is a patch to gnome-wm that makes it work with fvwm.
