No, your patch was indeed well targeted to fix the bug you wanted :)

It only works if you restart the gdm3 service from a text console
(tty1, etc. => CTRL-ALT-F1). If you run `service gdm3 restart' from X,
the stop action kills X, and then the Terminal, and then the start
action is not run.
Can you retry this way?

IMHO the easiest to test such patches during initial development is
often to add a patch to config/chroot_local-patches/ -- this nicely
works around the requirement to learn git-buildpackage, pbuilder &
friends :) Of course this only works for programs written in
interpreted languages, which happens to be the case for all our custom
programs shipped as .deb's.
