Title:
gdm logins should fail if a sourced session script fails
Status in GDM: The Gnome Display Manager:
Won't Fix
Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
When /etc/gdm/Xsession sources various other scripts, logging in will
still succeed if a script returns a non-zero exit code. All other
login managers have the opposite behaviour - logging in fails -
because /etc/X11/Xsession includes "set -e".
This can cause failures to go unseen by developers, if they generally
use gdm during development (see Malone #35852 for an example).
I really just want all login managers to have the same behaviour here,
so if this bug is rejected, I'll go and hassle the xorg team ;-) But
"fail early" sounds like it's more appropriate, IMHO.
